Anyone named their kids after cars?

[Mikebentley]

To start the ball rolling my son is called Bentley, my niece is Kia and her half sister is called Rio. Anyone got any of their own?

I have a little girl due in 16 weeks. I want to call her Acadiane or Dyane but my wife says no!

My dog is called 'Lola' after the Lola T70....

Kia Rio is a pretty 'normal/everyday' car to name kids after isn't it?

Edit the title before the grammar Nazis get you!

On topic: a school friend of mine called his son "Ford", but that was after Ford Prefect from Hitchhiker's Guide

Can't seem to edit title to say their not they're but there you are anyway.
Sodding predictive thingy ma bob.
Kia and Rio are two different kids, the latter being a Duran Duran thing. He hates cars so I never pointed out the
Kia Rio thing, do you think we should tell his lad Sunny?

Gonna call my daughter Sierra if/when I have one.

Apparently I'm not allowed to call any of my future children MP4-12C Spider.

Not a car but there's a girl at the school where I work called Aprilia.

I've always thought Transit would be a great name for a kid.

I know an Elise

little Picnic, Bongo Friendee and Mysterious Utility Wizard may complain now, but I'm sure they'll thank me later in life when the cars they're named after are fast-appreciating classics.

Nothing makes you out as sadder than naming your kids after your hobby.

Taught a few Elises, owned one too. Also teach a Shelby, Harley etc. All a bit Chav.

Mate's kid is called Scania after his fleet of 6 trucks!
