Poet Elizabeth Bishop once called Marianne Moore "the world's greatest living observer."Moore was already a famous American poet when in 1955 the Ford Motor Company asked for her help in naming its latest car model.
She came up with these names:
- Mongoose Civique
- Varsity Stroke
- The Anticipator
- Resilient Bullet
- Ford Silver Sword
- Thunder Crester
- Pastelogram
- The Intelligent Whale
- Andante con Moto
- Utopian Turtletop
But ultimately the Ford Company went with the name Edsel for the new car, after Henry Ford's son
