Not as strange as all that. St. Martin of Braga, a sixth-century bishop, objected to the pagan names and switched to the names used in ecclesiastical Latin. People sometimes wonder why he didn’t object to the names of the months that commemorate pagan gods such as Janus, Mars, Maia, and Juno, which he left unchanged.
Your mileage may vary indeed. I love my Outback, even more than I loved my previous one that was T-boned by a red light runner 2 months after I bought it and was still capable of getting on the flatbed tow truck under its own power, even though it was eventually declared a total loss due to the cost of repair.
Well, some might say that that since Nike was the goddess of Victory, it was a logical name for sports gear with which participants hoped to achieve just that.
