Haha!

My wife actually LOVED Aston for a boy. I told her the middle name had to be Martin. Aston Martin Hamilton... Kind of a noble sound to it don't ya think?

You guys are coming up with some creative ones though...

A decade or so ago there was a little girl named Shelby Dakota. Yes her father named her after his truck. She had a website when she was 10 and explained that. If I'm right, she's probably 21-22 years old now. I wonder if she changed her name?

My sister's middle name is Elise. In the unlikely event I find a lady willing to procreate with me Elise is a top contender for a girl's name.

Another of my sisters has a friend of a friend who named his daughter Camera. He's not a shutterbug nor is he Latino- he named her after his Camaro. Camaro was going to be her name if she was a boy. Poor girl is going to get bullied like crazy when she is school aged.

now my monitor and keyboard need a cleaning....

Yeah, but Per's brother is named Thor. Names of awesomeness run in the family.

What's funny is how many of the names suggested here are people names that got put on cars. Enzo, Dino, Mercedes (as has been pointed out), Elise (sorta)...

My girlfriend in high school was called Susan. Her dad wanted a boy, and was apparently a fan of Johnny Cash. Thus, Sue.

Enzo, Dino, Ferdnand (Porsche), were all contenders. LOL

I had a friend in high school who's name was Brian Redman. His dad is a huge Porsche nut. LOL

My wife keeps coming up with names and when one happens to be something car related, I chime in, but then turns it down when I explain te car significance. The latest was Vincenzo, but she likes the short name Enzo.

I haven't said anything yet.

I have met Italians named Enzo and Dino. Neither were car guys.

Actually, I kind of thought Senna was a pretty name for a girl until all of these Siennas and Sookies and whatnots started showing their horrid fake faces.

For me its aviation. One of my kids, boy or girl, WILL be named Kelly Johnson. Look up Lockheed for the back story on that one.

I win. My daughter's name is Morgan. I figured it was the only way I could have one.

Being a real airplane freak, I tried to work Pratt Whitney, Curtis Wright, Piper or Mooney into a name. The old ball and chain would have none of that.

When my wife was pregnant with our second son our oldest (Lucas) wanted us to name his brother Racecar Michael. We didn't have the balls to do it,but in hindsight we should have gone with Race Carmichael. That would have been a pretty bad ass name I suppose,but maybe the kid would appreciate it as much as we did,so he was named Alexander instead.
