Zoe Renault has just lot a case against Renault Zoe :O)

Renault can name a new car Zoe - after a judge threw out a case brought by the parents of two girls called Zoe Renault.

The families had argued that their children could face a lifetime of mockery for sharing the name of a car.

But the judge found no evidence that it would cause the children "certain, direct and current harm".

The families' lawyer David Koubbi said they planned to appeal against the decision.

"We're telling Renault one very simple thing: first names are for humans."

What say you ??

No, not a car, a champagne or a rose would be nice.

And a diamond would be awesome.

Right MJ.... yeah... I was a little confused then. I would imagine a car name Hugh Grant would be slow, boring, handle sluggishly, be very unreliable, quite forgettable, but owned by a lot of lady drivers who like a traditional English ride.

A lot of car manufacturers seem to be fascinated with gypsies and nomadic and desert tribes. That's why we have cars like... Touareg, cherokee, gypsy, Nomad etc.

If I were a girl and my name was 'Mercedes', I'd be pleased if they named a car after me.
