everything is more beautiful because we're doomed
I think I recall that one of the Bonanza back stories, which told the tale of Hoss' mother, said that "Hoss" was Scandenavian(maybe Swedish) meaning "a kind man". As the series evolved, however, it came into the "horse" meaning because of the character's physical size.

Kirk, my car has been Sabrina since I first got it in 96, but as soon as I moved here, I "sensed" that she wanted a new California identity and the name Isabelle. In my synesthisia, Isabelle is the Dr. Jeckell to Sabrina's Mr. Hyde. So Isabelle is mellowing out in her old age. So glad to hear from some one else who names their car.

I had a Volvo named Ace. It got too cocky, though, and rammed another car, so it had to get taken away after the headlight got fixed.
