[edit]Proton MPV Naming Contest

Proton announced a contest called the Proton MPV Naming Contest to find a name for the MPV. The contest closed on 30th September 2008. This is the second time Proton held a naming contest for their new car after Proton Saga.

The result has been announced on 17th February 2009. The name Proton Exora was picked from the Name The Proton MPV competition grand prize winner Norsholihan bt Abdul Eanich among 251,763 entries.[5]

A controversial rule in this naming competition stated that an entry must not be taken from flora or fauna, but the winning entry Exora is inspired from the Ixora flower. Proton later clarified that the word Exora was only similar to Ixora but not a direct name of a flora or fauna so it was allowed.
