Back in the 1990s when I worked for DaimlerBenz, a big muckety-muck from Stuttgart deigned to pay our humble Palo Alto research outpost a visit. His name was Professor Klaus-Dieter Vöhringer, he was ten feet tall, and he was taciturn to the point of causing panic wherever he went. At the time I drove a ponderous 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220s I called The Senator, which I immediately renamed Klaus-Dieter. My manager said I should show him the car, as he had quite possibly worked on the assembly line which made it, but I — like my manager, and everyone else at the office — was too shy to mention it.
