Name that Child
Discussion
As a mid 50's motorsport/clssic car enthusiast I find myself in the suprising position of being due a child (boy) later in the year, only a 24 year gap from the last one.
I have suggested to the namimg committee "Enzo", "Dino", "Innes" all of which have been vetoed, I would like a 60's motorport related name "Graham" won't fly as there are too many in the family already.
I need something that has a motorsport heritage to it that the committee will go with while probably not realising the connection. I might try "Stirling" but all suggestions gratefully received.
I've also just discovered this cruel thing called paternity leave, I will gladly take a week off in order to buy scaletrix, mini moto X bike, suitable motorsport posters for his bedroom, but apparently some people actually take significant time off work to do this.
I am mindful that if I Overdo this he could end up being a vegetarian cyclist in later life but am prepared to take the risk

Thank you all
I like the idea of Archie or Tyrell, I was always a big fan of Ken, David Purley was a proper gent.
As to finding myself in the suprising (sic) position I have a 23 yr old son from marriage Mk l so not too much of a gap then, the thought of being mid 70s by the time he leaves home is scary, what should be toy manmaths purchases will become child/school fee spending also not being able to get grumpy when other peoples kids are making a racket in public will be greatly missed.
Got taken "buggy" shopping, my god they are the size of boat trailers now, tragically they don't fit in a 996, so less chance of him leaking/overflowing onto my nice clean interior.

Congratulations OP!
Don't suppose Cosworth would get past the committee?
Failing that most of the good 60's ones seem to have been mentioned, but I didn't see a mention of Mike as in Hawthorne (or Hailwood if you like bikes too), Phil as in Hill or Dan as in Gurney - could even consider John as in Surtees. Nobody likely to ever win world titles on both 2 and 4 wheels again.
If 70's can be considered I like the idea of Gerry or Ayrton, or maybe James as in Hunt - that must get past the committee surely?
More recently if you like bikes would Valentino work?
Good luck anyway and enjoy the toy shopping!
