Renault can name its small car the ‘Zoe’ a French decide has ruled.
The ruling was given in party favor of the company following a bizarre case started by concerned parents of children named Zoe Renault.
Families argued that children who would share the same name as the auto could face a lifetime of teasing and mockery.
According to a family lawyer “there’s a line between living thing and inanimate objects and that line is defined by the first name”.
“We’re telling Renault one really simple thing: first names are for humans” he continued.
The judge however found no evidence that it would lawsuit the children “certain direct and current harm”.
The Renault Zoe ZE is fixed for launch in 2012 and its name meaning ‘life’ will underline the company’s green credentials
