[Bristol]

I need HELP… naming my kid!

My wife is 3 months pregnant. I know, I know, congratulations! No, not really. I’m 42, I have four kids from a previous marriage, I thought I was past this phase in my life. But wife #2 wants a kid bad. I thought I’d appease her with a dog or two or three, but that didn’t work. So here I am, and I need to pick out a cool, car-related name for my kid because I frankly don’t give a crap if the kid grows up to hate me and their name. I just want to name them something cool.

So… I’ve got a good start because seriously my last name is Bristol. Up until recently “Bristol” was a car manufacturer in the UK. So the last name fits the car theme here, but what about the first and middle names?

If it’s a girl:

Porsche – obviously that fits as a first name. I don’t think Targa or Cabriolet fit well as a middle name, but what about Carrera? Porsche Carrera Bristol! Sounds too much like a stripper’s stage name…

Kay – that would be a reasonable first name. How about combining with a strange middle name, like Man? Kay Man Bristol!

Morgan – again a good girl’s name, but also another British car manufacturer. How about Morgan Porsche Bristol then? It would be better though to have a middle name from another British car company, especially one that hand assembles their cars like Morgan and Bristol. Is there another? Morgan Ascari Bristol, Morgan Lotus Bristol, Morgan TVR Bristol :-P

If it’s a boy:

Ferdinand – again, an obviously appropriate first name.

Ferry – I thought about this one. I moved recently to Texas from Northern California. I think this would work in NorCal as there are a lot of ferrys and fairies in San Francisco, but here in Texas I think it would just get his ass kicked.

Butzi – again, a good name for the kid to come home every day from school with a bloody nose…

Any other ideas or suggestions?
