'Fagot' also means a bundle of sticks or branches, usually meant for use as firewood. It is also a kind of British meatball.

The Tu-22 Blinder was originally assigned the reporting name "Beauty" but it was dropped on the grounds that NATO didn't want to appear too complimentary about a Soviet plane, the next choice was "Bullshot," but that was dropped as it was open to misinterpretation. Given the Blinder's problematic service history many Soviet aircrew would have thought it would have been more appropriate!
Mean choosen by computer or named after computers?
Well the car names are not choosen by computers, but marketing people. Usually the names are form some fancy languages and its checked form every marketing country that that name isen't anyhting weird form its national language. For example the Volkswagens van Perspano is know as Transporter in here as the orginal name mean something like ass-fuck in our language
