Anyone named their kids after cars?

[noell35]

can't imagine my daughter Volvo is going to be too happy when she gets a bit older

[RyanDD]

my girlfriend's middle name is Mercedes. her sisters were due to be given car names too, but her mum put the foot down so no more car names after that

[tinkertaylor]

I named my son Adam after the new Vauxhall.

[JamesYates]

Can't decide between Escort or Probe

I'm Kier, which is pronounced the same way as Kia. Not sure if I was born first, or if the car was named after me...

[Negative Creep]

I named my daughter Cougar.

You'd hope the children would grow up to be right tts if they're named after cars.

Seem to remember an Auto Express article from years ago with someone naming their daughter Lexus. She'll probably get endless amounts of stick and then wind up being a second rate stripper in a bar where the star is called Mercedes.

Think you may find that a certain German car company is named after the founders daughter !

If it's S-Line are you going to tattoo a TDi badge on their arse? Same goes for 325i with an ///M badge.

And here's me thinking BMW would be a silly name for a girl!

Maybe it's like the Beckhams and Fenchurch? You name them after where they were conceived?

[Pints]

Pretty sure I got the name Zoë in before Renault did.

[Dave Hedgehog]

we named our son B475JKL

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

Lancia made the Aprilia. I know of someone whose eldest daughter is named Aurelia and youngest named Aprilia. Not spoken to him for years, alas.

I once went to a ski lodge in les deux alpes run by a guy called Land Rover, he had a relative called Brock ( conceived on November the 5th ?)...they were part of the van den Bogaerde family of which Dirk Bogarde was a member.
