WDYT of Ford?

There it a little boy in DD's Kindermusik named Ford.  I can't decide if I like it or not.

Re: WDYT of Ford?

  • I dont like it at all!  It is a car maker not a childs name.

  • I live in MI so I hear Ford Motor all the time.  I can't imagine calling a child that.  In my GM loving family it certainly wouldn't go over well either!  : 0
  • Besides the cars, it reminds me of Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  I've heard worse, though.

  • NMS.  It's a car company (and to boot it is a car company begging for a financial bail-out). 
  • My initial reaction was, why are they talking about cars on a baby names board???  It is nms.

  • I think it's fine if that's a family name, like mom's maiden name or something like that.  But otherwise I just think of it as a car company, and not a particularly successful one these days!
  • Where we live, it is actually a pretty common boys name. The tradition here is to name at least one child after the mom's maiden name.

    Fordham/Crawford/Langford, etc are common last names, so I've known several people with one of these names and the nickname Ford. I guess it takes some getting used to, but I don't think it is a weird name.

  • I don't like it at all.
  • Nice name if it's a play on a family name, but nms otherwise.
  • I don't care for it. It makes me think of the car.

  • It's okay. I think his whole life people would say, "Ford?" Like the car/truck?"
    Blank!
  • I like it.

    My DH and DS's middle names are Ford, named after the president Gerald Ford.

    If you like it, then use it.

    Mommy to three adorable boys!
  • Surname or car, not first name.

  • NMS at all. Live in MI and think of car company.
    TTC #1 for over 5 years - too many to count IF treatments (tried everything and anything), repeat miscarriages. Finally, Sticky Success!! B/G Twins arrived 2011. VOTE on my Name List Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Not for myself.  I just hear the name and I always cringe in class.  The little boy is so cute.  I feel bad for reacting that way.
  • I knew one of those.. it was a family name (Irish?) The guy is in his early thirties now.

    I don't care for it. I always think "Fix Or Repair Daily" or "Found On Road Dead."
