Help"edsel is a no-go"

And has come to symbolize a major failure. Plus it was a funny-looking car.
Roque just makes me think of Roquefort cheese.
Charles is nice. I hope you intended to spell it that way and not Charle, which looks like nothing except a typo.
Aleric makes me think of allergy medicine.

Plus Edsel Ford was an anti-Semite.

I'm usually the first to argue that the car should not render Mercedes unusable as a personal name, but yeah, can't say the same for Edsel.

Ah, I see. You have associations with some of the names that I have not heard of.
My grandfather collects and shows antique autos and loves this type of car, but I can see why some may think the association too strong. It was considered a failure only because so many people purchased a car they thought was new-age, but it was really just the same. Marketing ploy I guess... but I like the way it looks. I assumed the association would have died out by now. I might consider another Ed-name in it's place. Thanks.
