Hey, more interesting than the gazillion *aiden/*ayden/*aydyn/*aidin/*last name as first name etc given these days by feckless idiot moms and dronedads.

But I bet the Bentleys and Teslas especially will grow up to be punchable adults.

A cousin of mine I don’t see often has (had?) dogs called Austin and Healy. Didn’t even  think he’s really old enough to know what they are.

T ypically, Kia as a name comes from the African root and doesn’t reference the automaker. Similar situation as the name Aston. All the rest are 100% for the brands.

Is Donkervoort a boy name or a girl name?

I still would prefer Bentley and Tesla to the pseudo-country hick names being used by white northeast suburban parents. Fuck them and their Coltons, Gavins, Wyatts, and Elis.

That moronicity is common in the PNW as well, maybe second to the “aiden” family.

Not sure what inspires these names, I suspect the hover/bulldozer parents think they are “strong ” or some such bullshit.

I’m pretty sure some of those have been used as given names for a long time, but most of those brands have been around long enough that it’s hard to say which came first without doing research .

I think I prefer these over the Game of Thrones names that have been popping up in the past few years. “Well, little Cersei , you were named after a woman I saw on TV who ba - uhh, you know, never mind .”

I found jaxsyn on those mugs at a gift shop, but can’t find my own (traditional) name. At this rate I’ll find Smob before I find my real name.

The thing that drives me the craziest in the use of boy names on girls. I mean, I can’t stand the ones you listed, but the gender switching drives me up the wall. There’s a reason people use these ridiculously masculine names for boys; if you don’t, they’ll be teased for their “girl name” by the time they’re old enough to start kindergarten. My brother suffered it in the late-80s to early-90s after some stupid TV show gender-switched his name for a character and the idiots picked it up, to the point that today it’s very rarely given to boys at all.

I think there’s a large expanse of names between names that don’t fit with gender expectations and might generate teasing , and hyperconforming names that seem to guarantee a medusamom and bulldozerdad pressuring a kid until they become burnt out at their given sport or activity and then continue the abusive parent tradition as adults.

I came across one of those names today, and the last name was Carr. So... pick one, it doesn’t matter. WTF
