As per the title, what's your favourite ski name? (Note, it doesn't have to be your favourite ski).
Do you go for deep Oriental stuff such as Volkl's Mantra or Karma? Do you prefer maybe the hippy attitude of K2's Work Stinx? Or a (hopefully) descriptive name such as Nordica's Speedmachine? Or maybe you're a nostalgic after the days when most ski names were no-nonsense combinations of letters and figures, like Fischer's RC4?
Bonus points for whoever comes up with the worst ski name as well.
If there's some clustering of responses, we can add a poll to this.

Sideshow_Bob, argh, I did search but only came across ski diva and epic threads.
Then again, at least I didn't start a new thread about that guy with a POV camera who keep getting buried and rescued in an avy

If I ever name a ski it will be in homage to all the macho names out there:
TMF
"Total M****f****n Armageddon"
Graphics will be fluffy bunnies and buttercups to totally undermine the badass name

It has to be K2 Apache Crossfires with MX 12 Bindings. How good does that sound.

Have to admit, when I bought my 'Apache Hellfires' the name was an added incentive!

Nobody rules these pistes at night but me.... and my Atomic Punx!

I pretty much bought my Line Motherships because of their name (and because I wanted a fat ski and it was 2005).
