I have been referencing the new silver Miata by the acronym CTBNL which means Car To Be Named Later, but what if later never comes? Our first two Miatas never had names, while the thrid one did, The Emperor. It got its name because it was an LS, the top of the line with leather seats, a cloth top and other goodies, plus it was such smooth riding car compared to the previous one, it just felt royal.
Cars are supposed to tell you their names subliminally by their deeds/actions or by your reaction to them, so far nothing has come to mind. I thought maybe I’ll just create one for it with a starting point of the 5 letters of the acronym – CTBNL. What words could I create that had those particular letters in that particular order with other letters in between and around them?
My first step was to write the 5 consonants out with gaps between them, start plugging in vowels and then searching the internet to see if they might be real words. Not much luck. Step 2 was to search the internet for a sort of word generator that would use my criteria and come up with words that fit. It took a couple tries before I found dCode and bingo, 13 words.
CONTUBERNAL
CONTUBERNIAL
CONTUBERNYAL
CONTRIBUTIONAL
RECTOABDOMINAL
CERATOBRANCHIAL
CRYOTURBATIONAL
CERATOBRANCHIALS
PECTINIBRANCHIAL
COUNTERBALANCINGLY
OCTACHLOROBIPHENYL
OCTACHLOROBIPHENYLS
ACETYLMETHYLCARBINOL
I really like the first one, CONTUBERNAL because it means literally “living in the same tent” or living in close proximity; intimate, familiar and this certainly fits Donna and I in the Miata. But the trouble is that first N – Car Named To Be Named Later – doesn’t work. Looking down the list the only word that has the 5 magic letters in the right order with no extras is – RECTOABDOMINAL – and that certainly won’t fly.
I’d open it up to internet voting, but I’m afraid that Miaty McMiataface would win. So for now, CTBNL it is.
