Sirius Registers Trademark "STILETTO"

Orbitcast.com has the story...

Looks like Sirius has recently registered the trademark "Stiletto." My guess? Sounds like a great name for a fancy new wearable satellite radio receiver. Let the speculation ensue.

Yeah, I'm guessing this might be a new line of women's receiver's being that "Stiletto™" is apparently a very well known name brand of lady's high heels. Maybe it's a new in-dash receiver made exclusively for the Stiletto™ Series brand of vehicles:

Or, it could be incorporated into the Stiletto™ brand of knives:

Having a SIRIUS receiver built into a pocket knife or a switchblade would be pretty cool, IMHO.

I must say, those are some very innovative products.

Horrible name.

Hm, sounds a little too much for a portable name. I think it should be something catchier/easier to say quickly in a sentace. Anything over 2 syllables seems just weird...Maybe it's just me...It's just not as clean to present otherwise.

Maybe they should have called it "Pump", "Wedge Heel", or maybe "Flip Flop"

Stiletto? I bet this was thought up by the same people who came up with those god awful tv commercials. ugh...

"Honey I'm going out, have you seen my Stiletto"

As long as it performs well later for the name.

Just thinking about this.. Motorola has the Razor, the Edge... maybe Sirius is going to emphasize the small, thin, portable by using the name Stiletto following the lead of Motorola. Stupid idea? maybe. maybe not.

I don't think this is a stupid idea at all... notice how much conversation there is already just over the name?

Agree dumb name but it could be a very slick unit?

Could it possibly be for an antenna? Maybe a marine style or for motorcycles? That might be better suited for that name.

"Stiletto" is a song by Billy Joel - could it be an all Billy Joel channel coming?
