===Brands and products=== {{Div col}} * [[Mazda MX-5|MIATA]]: MIATA is Always the Answer<ref name=MSN-AA1jnSBk> {{Cite web |url= https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/miata-is-the-answer-why-i-finally-bought-one/ar-AA1jnSBk |title= Miata Is The Answer: Why I Finally Bought One |author= David LaChance |date= 4 November 2023 |agency= Hemmings |publisher= MSN }} </ref> * The [[GNU Hurd]] project is named with a mutually recursive acronym: "Hurd" stands for "Hird Unix-Replacing [[Daemon (computer software)|Daemon]]s", and "Hird" stands for "Hurd Interfaces Representing Depth." * [[Jini]] claims the distinction of being the first recursive anti-acronym: 'Jini Is Not Initials'.<ref>[http://www.artima.com/jini/faq.html#acronym ''FAQ for JINI-USERS Mailing List''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130917065721/http://www.artima.com/jini/faq.html#acronym |date=17 September 2013 }}, Retrieved 18 November 2013</ref><ref>Introduction to ''The Jini Specification,'' Arnold et al, Pearson, 1999, {{ISBN|0201616343}}</ref> It might, however, be more properly termed an anti-backronym because the term "Jini" never stood for anything in the first place. The more recent "[[Microsoft XNA|XNA]]", on the other hand, was deliberately designed that way. {{Div col end}}
