Thanks for trying...but I think they have more of a meaning then just that. How about NSX, CL, RDX, ....etc. As the title stated. WHAT'S IN A NAME

You're searching for meaning where there isn't any. Good luck with that.

Probably whatever names tested well in study groups. Who knows. I just wish the letter and number names would go away.
