Default Name my BABY!

Ladies and Gentleman. I'm gonna be a Daddy next month so I'm soliciting help with naming my Baby. I'd like to sneak in a Porsche related name but can't see that happening so I'm up for some unique names with a spanish decent or variation. Oh and supposed to be a Boy.

Fernando certainly is, but more Renault content there!

My wife keeps threatening to name some non-existant future offspring variations on Ayrton, Portia, etc... nevermind she's Polish-American and I'm Anglo Canadian... I'm much more keen on names like Stirling, Damon, etc... though tempted to slip Alistair in there for good measure! LOL Mmm, yes, Stirling Alistair - that sounds like a kid what gets beat up for his lunch money!

Fred is always good. Maybe Stanley like the steamer. Henry like the Ford.

Nah,
Go for Ransom like the Olds.

Cameron is what we were thinking if we have a boy next Jan.
1. my wife likes it
2. she has no idea what a cam is, and is happy I'm not trying too hard to work Porsche into the name!

Oh, and congratulations!

...just remember the kid has to grow up with whatever name you give it. I've noticed a lot of kids named after soap opera characters, **** stars and reality show participants as of late. don't follow that trend. yikes.

on the other hand, Dick, Eugene, George, Arnold, Eunice, Bertha, Dorothy are not so hot either...

I plan on naming my firstborn "Schumy"...lol

But you should definitely name your kid either V2Rocket or Spencer. Either one is fantastic and will assure him lots of sexually-focused female attention later in his life.

And with that comes happiness.

You can steal any part of Dr. Porsche's name- Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche
Then there's the later Ferry's name - Ferdinand Alexander Porsche

or you can use Targa - after the first set of races he went after

speaking of soap operas, and where they got the name soap operas from, I know twins named dawn and joy. turns the first one was named dawn because the parents thought that was the nicest part of the day. they didnt know they were having twins. when they had to name the second they didnt know what to name their unexpected bundle of joy, so they named her joy.

when I heard the story i couldnt help but say "and to think all these years i thought you really liked P&G products".

NO, if you use any of those, I've heard that Porsche will track you down and sue you. Next thing you know, you'll have to change his name to P-car or something to settle it.
