Or what about a car called the Hillman Nimrod?

We (and the Septics) had the Sherman tank.
The Germans called it the TommyCooker.

Nimrod.
We should call our next weapon system Nimrod, just to use the name.
Maybe we could train underwater sniffer dogs, to look for al quaeda mines attached to the hulls of ships , and call them 'Nimrod dogs'
that would be cool. Mind you, the Brits have always been good at naming things, like we had the Harrier jump jet, the dull yanks had the AV8
we had the Centurion tank, the Indians called it the Mk7
