Coventry Climax

For all we know that may have been the start of his problems!

I like the idea of using initials, so three "Christian" names then a surname starting W

I suppose

Andrew Bruce Michael W.......= A BMW would look good on his school trunk

no it wouldn't it would look sh*t.

My wife (born in the 70's) was very very nearly called 'Cortina'. I can only imagine the damage that would have caused.

I suggest dropping this idea, its extremely naff.

Being called Escort hasn't caused her any issues then?

I suppose if she had twins we could call her Multipla

Add a bit f Celtic mist and opt for Patrick (Paddy) Hopkirk.

A little more modern but a nice name would be Joey (Dunlop)

Tazio (Nuvolari)
Achille (Varzi)
Ettore (Bugatti)
Rudolf (Caracciola)
Walter Owen (Bentley)
Bernd (Rosemeyer)
Denny (Hulme)
Richie (Ginther) or Richard (Attwood)
Jo (Siffert or Schlesser)
Guy (Ligier *or* Martin)

Portia (Porsche) if it's a girl Otherwise you're somewhat limited to Desire, Giovanna, Lella, Divina, Michele (Mouton), etc.

It is a truism that I'm named after Karl Benz, but with a C (my dad's name begins with K but isn't Karl).

Ferdinand? Or maybe Ferry?
You do have a Porsche......

Years ago a friend who had a business scrapping Minis, 1100s and 1300s had a son. All the usual suggestions were made and rejected (we were taking the pics and suggesting Austin, Morris, Riley, Maxi, Tasman, etc if a boy and Princess if a girl). After telling us there was no way he was naming his child after a car he called him Michael. Second name George. He registered the name before telling us and didn't understand why we all burst out laughing..... M.G. S*****

One of my boys is Austin, the other's initials are M.G. I've put badges from a classic car show on their bedroom door :-)

Hopefully your surname isn't Vann

Chapman. An unusual and memorable first name, with requisite 60s motorsport linkage.
