Disown him and cut him out of the will

I really do not see the problem here...so you want to name him Ford....big deal.....who knows he just might end up like Ford Prefect....Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy.

Fasty you name your son whatever you like and to hell with the knockers....mind you it did show some very stilted minds on here!

[Ryan]

I dont see the problem with the name Ford.

I would actually like my name as Holden Commodore or Holden Calais. :hihi:

You can change it by deed poll...a small fee and your name is...#$%^&@()&^%$#@

[Ryan]

I think Calais would make a nice girl's name though, or Capri.

My cousin's name is Shelby, she's absolutely gorgeous.

Good to see all the input. I had chosen the name regardless of the flack I copped. It does show the norrow mindness of some but they are the each to thier own and I take no offense. Thanx to all. See you at the Creek tomorrow night.

[the_scotsman]

Hmmm...no offence intended, but I don't like it at all...

Would you ever have considered the name Ford if you weren't into cars/Fords? Probably not.
Seem like the name has been chosen for the wrong reason...thats what I dont agree with...but thats just my opinion...

I dont think he'll cop flak at school or with mates though, its not a BAD name by any means...

Is there something you're trying to tell us?

[SSBUB]

call a girl Capri and you have mapped out her future as a 'working girl' - sounds very $2 hookerish
To be named 'Holden Commodore' as both first and last names, your parents should be shot!

[deesun]

When he is 6 or 7 Ford will have won so many races he will be a hero at school.
Just teach him young to say " Ford's the best F$%K the rest"

If I had a girl I wouldnt mind calling her Calais or Capri.

i actually agree with u here.

[Angry Beaver]

Ok I think some of you need to take a look at the actual meaning of the name before you start sprouting off about the teasing the child will get for his name.

This is an old english name that has been around longer than henry ford himself.
http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Ford.html
And might I also ask how long it has been since alot of you went to school?

Kids get teased for worse things these days. Names are a nothing.... They are more likely to get teased about the colour of their skin and worse off their religeon. I think some off you are taking this the very wrong way. There are bigger things for these kids to worry about these days. So I think every body needs to take a step back and actually think outside of the square. Oh and by the way ford is nothing to what I was originally going to call Dayton. Hows wolfgang.

[dvk]

"Ford" has nothing on "Dirk" in terms of being ridiculed. From grades 1-7 every kid you run into thinks he's the first one to think up the whole "dirk the jerk" rubbish. Not to mention when it's written down anywhere, it being all too easily modifiable into "Dick". I won't even start on my surname. Then you hit high school and the diggler factor kicks in.... yes I had a rough trot. Heh. But I mean, thoughout school most kids cop it pretty harsh in some way. It's totally unacceptable, but you have to admit, it happens and it's hard to stop.

As someone who has an unusual name, at this point in my life I couldn't be happier that my parents named me what they did. Now everyone I run into loves it, including myself. I don't think I have been in any way scarred from my experience as a kid, if anything it made me a hell of a lot stronger. That was a stupid sentence. I don't run into myself. Ahem, so anyway, I agree with you, and disagree with the posters saying parents should refrain from naming their boy "Ford" because "he will be teased mercilessly". Name your kids what you like, don't change because you are scarred some little dumbИИИИs are going to give them hell. Just give your kids support if they do have problems.

..btw, what happened to fasty?

Fasty decided to overstep the boundary of logic once too often then became abusive, he was sent on a 3 day holiday then decided to resign and : so it became a permanent holiday.

There is the site support for this type of question or PM to admin if need be

[Falcon Coupe]

I saw the movie Torque a couple of years ago, it stars Martin Henderson who plays the lead biker named....Ford, it did't seem unusal at all, i think it's a great boys name, the only reason i didn't name my son Ford was family pressure and the fact my surname starts with C, FC ain't good initials for a young boy
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329691/ Good movie.

[LUXO_8]

but his name wasnt Ford, his SURNAME was

Plot Summary: Biker Cary Ford is framed by an old rival and biker gang leader for the murder of another gang member who happens to be the brother of Trey (Ice Cube)...

it just seems very wierd, and now fordy isnt around any more (his own doing btw) i dont think it matters.....

[snypereb]

Great name mate sounds good!

[troppo]

FWIW the main character in Ford Fairlane (rock 'n roll detective) is named....Ford. So too is a main character from hitchhiker's guide...Ford Prefect.

[Bucknaked]

Personally I don't think it matters what you call them. As they get older you start to use their name less and less. For example, when you stand on one of their match box cars at 2 in the morning, the childs name then become "Little Bastard". Or when he scratch's the paint on the car, for a while he will be known as another name.

So it's all irrelevant.

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

lol so very very true...

[Fordy]

lol oops, my bad..


(easy mistake)

[BO55]

I like the name mate. It's different. I don't know one person with that name.

YEAH he'll get teased in his school years but there are many worse names out there.

I think if ya like it,then use it. You'll proablly start a trend.

[Felony]

Lol Ford Elliott Donald Farnsworth i ИИИИing love it!!! You guys seen torque? his name is ford too, and the girls name is shane? wtf, all teasing aside and in all honesty its different and i actually like it, congrats on the rugrat matey,
cheers

That would be me... Shelby wasn't named after Carroll Shelby or the cars that he makes. Shelby's middle names are Victor (after his grandfather) and Gordon (after his great-grandfather). The first thing my cousin thought was that he was named after Carroll Shelby, Victor Bray and Jeff Gordon, thinking that with both parents being revheads, then that must be right, but as you can see it wasn't the case.

I have been stuck with the eternal nickname of Tray (if you know me you'd know why I got it), people think it offends me which is why some people over-emphasise it, but I dealt with it.

Anyway, I would put a lot of long hard thought into your kids name, because he/she is the one who has to live with it forever.

Calling your kid Ford may seem really cool and great, BUT is he going to want to keep it? And what grief will it cause from kids in school.

Also I once knew a guy who wouldn't date a girl because of her name and who can forget that classic Seinfeld episode with Mulva... or was it Gipple... or Dolores :

Other names I have known people to be called that have been a good laugh:
- Ben Larden (yes that IS his real name)
- A friend called her son Ocean
- Frank Zappa's kids Dweezil and Moon Unit
- Heaps of guys called Francis and Carol
- An old teacher who's first name was D|ck and middle name Leslie :
- A guy I knew who's name was Slobodan which he shortened to Bobby
- Cher's daughter Chastity
- Gaylord aka Greg (meet the fockers
- Sri Lankan cricketer Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas
- An old g/friend from year 7, called Zekie aka Zekie the Geekie
- A former school mate Enterprise Spock Kirk
- Collin Woods and his sister Maggie Woods (AFL fans would get it)
- Gecko Bilby Jones (A kid I played cricket with)
- And not to forget my two favourites from the 12th Man, Ifeelikachunda and Imightneedapootoo
