anyone named their kids after cars / parts ?

So I looked around and could not find a thread on this. I was wondering if anyone had named their kid after cars or parts. Growing up we had some family friends who had a son named Bumper. Now that we are thinking of having our first kid was wondering if anyone had any good examples of car related kid names.

 

Give the kid a break,,give them a normal name not something they are going to have to spell every time they meet someone for the rest of their life!

My daughter named our granddaughter Veda as in Veda Orr but this is a constant correction for a seemingly normal name.

BTW,,that is what the search button is for,,,this has been posted quiet a few times. HRP

 

Bumper?

poor kid

 

Not again

 

A friend of mine named his boy Tucker after th car. I named my dogs Mercedes and Bentley after cars.

 

Bumper haha wow.

A car buddy named his youngest Diesel, didn't hate that. I believe that was a first name in Germany actually.

Shelby
Diesel
Race
Edsel

 

Maybe "Fleetline" if its a boy, "Cranbrook" if its a girl?

 

How about Dipstick !!!!

 

I would suggest bushing, alternator, tie (like tie rod) or maybe fender?

 

I knew a kid named Ford who lived down the street when I was a kid.

 

Tranny?

wait, that has bad connotations.

 

Bodyman friend of mine had a bunch of dalmations at the shop named Bumper, Fender, Chassis, Rocker. I thought that was cool. I couldn't imagine introducing your family and having it sound like an invoice from a repair shop.

Ha ha dipstick.
My what a odd you have there Bumper, I bet your father is a real dipstick. Fender replied, " hey, how did you know my dad's name"

 

I can never get this search to work rite so Im sorry If this has been posted before. Tryed to search it a few dif ways.
I have a friend who named his son Glamis after the sand dunes too.

 

My boy is named Clay. Somewhat after Clay Smith, but mostly because I liked the name.

 

a friend of mine had a dog named Rambler, kinda neat

 

I had a dog named Clutch.

 

we have two Boxer puppies Turbo an Nitro. cant name a kid after a dog..... can you?

 

Yeah, I named my kid Fenderwell and my dog George. Makes a lot of sense.

 

I used to have a GF I used to call Lil' Diesel, 'cause she'd pulled a few trains.

 

We nick named by buddies girlfriend "lowering kit" she was a big girl..

 

Yea I was gonna name my daughter drive shaft but my wife slapped the shit out of me. She did't like blower either.

I know that this is a dumb question but other that Frank Zappa what kind of a whacked out meth headed inbred trailer trash muther would name their kid after a car part.

 

Although she didn't appreciate it ,.. E.J. Potter named his daughter "Allison",... yes,.. after the engine,..... Like mentioned earlier,.. give the kid a brake. I went to school with a kid whose Dad was a plumber,.... His name was "Rusty Phype" (Pronounced "Pipe"). Rusty was not amused.

 

Moon Unit Zappa,... And her lil Brother Dweezel Zappa ?

 

I went to school with some twins named Coke and Pop. There folks said that they were artists, that was double speak for being a beatnick toward the end of the beatnick period leading into the hippy revolution.

 

Sounds like a good way to make your kid hate cars.

 

You could call your kid Mudflap, but then they would always be catching shit

 

wasn't he going to name one of his kids fuel rod? Kind of a george jetson car part name.

 

I have a freind that is a car nut and a stripper. She named her kid chevelle.

Her stripper name is Lunati.

 

I never believed it until my Father-in-law showed me his High School yearbook,.. But he graduated with a kid named Harry Balls,.. No kidding !, Why would ANYBODY do that to a kid ???

 

Ansen wouldn't ne bad - sounds powerful
Halibrand Joseph has a nice ring to it.
