Vroom, vroom!
Last night, Darling Husband and I were doing a little car research. We’re trying to figure out what fuel-efficient, budget-friendly piece of metal is going to replace our beloved SUV.
Somewhere along the way, it turned into a baby name discussion — doesn’t it always?
ME: Hey — Aston Martin! Wouldn’t that be a cute boy’s name?
DARLING HUSBAND: Uh, no.
ME: No, no, it would! Little Aston Martin.
DARLING HUSBAND: No way.
But it got me thinking — Darling Husband is a huge car/truck/airplane/any-vehicle lover. If we have a boy, maybe a car name would be cute?
Here are some auto-inspired name possibilities:
- Brock (like!)
- Archer (like!)
- Austin (annoyingly trendy)
- Aston Martin (the kid would get nicknamed “Ass”)
- Bentley (too trendy, I think)
- Blake (kind of like)
- Carlton (can’t stop picturing this)
- Henry (unfortunately, Darling Husband still hates it)
- Lexus (sounds a lot like A-lexis)
What do you think? Is the car thing crazy? Unfortunately, we can’t name the kid after my hobbies, unless we want to call him/her “Gluegun” or “Singer.”
