Yeah, those were proposed by a huge percentage of the entrants in to the MER name the rover contest, and disqualified for that reason. Two names from the same exploration mission -- Sacagawea and York -- survived into the final round. I kind of like "Sacagawea". One can sort of see the RTG as her papoose...though I can say from experience that a papoose is more likely to steal energy than it is to provide it!
