| quote: | At some point in the past 20 years, it seems as though parents abruptly decided to switch from names like Michelle and Jimmy to names like Madison and Hunter. The naming trend obviously didn't sit well with one Texas couple, who decided to name their children after luxury car manufacturers. The Lone Star duet named their first child Lexus after the new father saw a Lexus driving by. The name Porsche was shot down for the first child, but when Craig and Sondra Harrington found out they were expecting twins, Ferdinand's namesake was back in the fold. To keep up with the German naming convention, the other child now dons the Audi name.
As it turns out, the Harringtons aren't even car nuts, but they may be a bit looney. Something tells us the twins had better be a couple of tough hombres, because they're likely going to have to get physical to keep kids from picking on them. Besides, Texas is truck country. Shouldn't they have gone with Silverado and Tundra? F-Series is probably a bit over the top, but Sierra could make a great girl's name. |

That's nothing. In Venezuela, some people give their kids really bizarre names:
| quote: | | Software searches of the voter registry find more than 60 people of voting age with the first name Hitler, including Hitler Adonys Rodríguez Crespo; eight Hochiminhs, among them Hochiminh Jesús Delgado Sierra; and six Eisenhowers, including Dwight Eisenhower Rojas Barboza. |

Another article I found said that brand names are sometimes used for children, like "Burger King," and names of fictional characters like "Superman."
:wtf: |

The quote mentions the couple wanting to keep up the German naming scheme, but I thought Lexus was owned by Toyota, which is Japanese. Maybe I'm wrong.
Also, props to the couple for....creativity? |

Yeah.
Probably a good indication of the average intelligence level of people who would name their kids after car companies. |

| I think you are misreading the quote. I think what is meant is that they wanted to keep up with the German theme from "Porsche", not Lexus. Anyway i'm not even sure Porsche is German? |
