What Car Would You Name Your Baby After?

As someone mentioned, people like to name their kids after things they cant afford. That got me thinking of all the children named Mercedes, Fendi, or Alimoni in this world and whether my passion will turn into a christening one day. What product or brand would you consider having your offspring share a namesake with?

Personally, though I think Bentley is a bit too high brow, I have considered the name Arnage on far too many occasions.

A van with the term motherfucker in it seems ironic. Beauty Leopard I like!

I’m having a kid soon and was fighting to call him Dino, but My wife wouldn’t allow it because of the flinstones reference. Our Last names are De la Cadena and Romero”, Dino De la Cadena Romero sounds amazing. Anyway, here are other i like:

Detomaso (Detomaso De la Cadena, I like it!)
Iso
Mangusta (if she’s a woman)

These are my kids, Detomaso and Mangusta, come here kids, say hello...

Take it back!!! :P I named myself Mercedes...and not because I can’t afford a Mercedes. But rather Mercedes-Benz is the parent company to smart.

Precisely what I was thinking. Giulietta would work too.

I’ve thought about Harley in honor of Harley Earl. Also Yvette because it has ’vette’ in it. Sierra would also be nice, but naming your daughter after your pickup truck is some redneckedy ass shit.

Also, if I settle down with a nice black girl, I plan to name our daughter Zonda. It just doesn’t work for a white girl.

David Brown. Then he can call his kid David Brown 2, and so on. By about 100 years from now we’ll be getting to the good stuff.

Ford, for two reasons. Obviously because of the Ford Motor Company, but also the character Ford Prefect (who mistakenly named himself after the car, thinking cars were Earth’s dominant life form) from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Porsche and Mercedes are manufacturers, not cars, but I have met or heard of women with both of those names. Let’s see ....

[ 1 syll. por -(s)(c) he , po -rs- che ] The baby girl name Porsche is pronounced PAOR-SH †. Porsche’s language of origin is Latin. It is predominantly used in English and German . Porsche is a variation of Portia (English).

Of course, we have to follow the links.

[ 2 syll. por - tia , po -rt- ia ] The baby girl name Portia is pronounced PAOR-SHaa †. Portia is of Latin origin and it is predominantly used in the English language. Th name is from Porcia (Latin), a feminine form of the Roman family name Porcius, itself possibly of the Latin porcus (meaning ‘hog, pig’).

Emphasis not mine!

Is it so when your wife is about to birth them you can yell “WHATS IN YOUR BOX???”

Dino was short for Alfredino. Maybe that would convince her.

None, at least not intentionally. I also wouldn’t base my child’s name on a favorite fictional character, either. Tastes change, brands change and die, and there are more than enough excellent, meaningful traditional names to choose from. I also don’t condone mucking around with spelling for the hell of it.

My wife’s half Italian, so I keep telling her if we have a son I want to name him Enzo. She thinks it’s a stupid name. For daughters I’ve mentioned Silvia and Elise, but she’s not fond of either.

When we’re in front of her family I always tease that I’ll name our son “Dale Earnhardt Junior Snuze” (except, you know, my actual last name).

I also went to school with a guy named Remington, which I thought was actually kind of a cool name. So I’ve told her we should name our future offspring after firearms manufacturers - Winchester, Colt, Browning, if we have twins they could be Smith and Wesson, if we have a daughter she’d be Beretta, etc.

I’m pretty sure Alfredino De la Cadena Romero is a character in Assassin’s Creed 2.
