Anyone named their kids after cars?

[Ali_T]

Nope, but my youngest is has his first and middle names after the Moto GP and F1 champions when he was born.....Ross Michael (Rossi and Schumacher). My wife still doesn't realise. Adding Petter in there might have given the game away.... ; )

I read that and wanted to cry.

I've met a surprisingly large number of girls named Porsche whose parents are still unaware of the name Portia and believe it was acceptable and reasonable to name their daughter that

Maybe it was a memorial to 9-11....

When we got our Chocolate Labrador we were going through various cars and trucks.

He ended up with MACK, and it suits him.

Daughter ended up been called Georgia.

OP, your son, Bentley. Is he of school age yet?

I can't begin to imagine the sort of slagging he'd get, every single day, if he was at the school I went to, with a name like Bentley.

Bent-Lee would be my first guess at his very first nickname

A good friend of mine has given his 3 daughters middle names of cars - I know one is Karmann - don't know the others

I am naming my kids Sunbeam, Avenger and Kadett.

[Tyre Tread]

An ex of mine called her daughter Samara.

My mate's son is called Jack.....

[marcosgt]

Yeah my daughter's called R5GTT and my son 205GTI

There was a Mercedes at the school my son's infant school and the Mum didn't know the car was named after a girl

It's actually a really nice name I think.

Our daughter is called Eleanor and given that I own a 67 Mustang some friends think there's a link. There isn't although the OH does sometimes refer to it.

According to my wife, a kid at the local go kart track is called Bergini ......surname Lamb

He's just started and was 5 last month. That said he's probably bigger than you so if he says anything tell me and I'll put him on the naughty step.

Do that now and you could have Sebastian George (anglicized obviously).

Sounds quite posh...

[jamieduff1981]

My elder daughter is named Shelby.

[BartSimpson]

356 Porsche A was the reason. People siting Portia yes, but Porschea no, well that's your opinion on a spelling.

Opinions and aholes...

My daughter is called Eleanor. I suggested the name to my wife, without explanation. She liked the name and agreed that it was "the one". I then explained to her why I'd suggested it. She was o.k. with it anyway.
My friends didn't need the explanation.

So is mine, she is 7, my wife only found out a couple of weeks ago why i suggested the name...
I did end up in the doghouse a bit lol.
