    Hindi dapat i-underestimate ang hatak ng pangalan ng isang produkto.
    So, before we actually name a name for the PhUV,
    why don't we agree on some criteria for choosing it?
    Like maybe:

    What it should be --
    1) It should trigger Filipino emotion, as something that Pinoys identify with -- especially the target C-D market -- without excluding analogous effects on non-Filipinos.
    2) It should be short - no more than three syllables.
    3) It should be catchy, and easy to remember.
    4) Preferebly a meaningful connection with Philippine history

    What it should NOT be --

    1) It should not duplicate nor even sound like any existing brand name, whether automotive or other commodities.
    2) It should not have derogatory or ridiculous connotations.
    3) It should not have derogatory or ridiculous homonyms.
    4) It should not be confined to a specific period, but should endure for many years.

    etc.

    English or Filipino pwede.
    Play of words pwede.

    Game?

    Why not Manila? It's the capital of the country where it is made and let's everyone know that it is Philippine made.

    *architect-
    The name Laguna makes me think more of a lagoon rather than speed since that's what it translates to in spanish. Well it's taken anyways so it doesn't matter.

    Another thing to remember when using foreign names like Laguna is what it translates to in the original language. Don't do what Chevy did when they sold the Nova in Mexico, Nova sounds like no va in spanish= "does not go" in english, it's a wonder why nobody bought the car in Mexico.

    While laguna is indeed spanish for lagoon, in the automotive world, the term is more associated with the Laguna Seca raceway. That is most probably why as you mentioned, it is already taken.

    But your point is well taken. The Chevy Nova is a classic marketing mistake and we would do well to learn the lesson.
