You know the car insurance company, Geico?

Was that name based on the gecko, or was the gecko based on Geico?

The Gecko was based on Geico. The 1st ad had the Gecko complaining that people were calling him instead of Geico.

The name is short for Government Employees Insurance Co. Guess that means the gecko was based on Geico?

Geckos are several million years older than the 20th Century business establishment named GEICO...

Hey, wait a minute! Are you even old enough to drive?
