    Texas couple name kids Lexus, Porsche and Audi

    Filed under: Etc., Audi, Lexus, Porsche
    [IMG]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.

    Uhm yeah ... there were two girls in my school with the names Lexus and Porsche. So ... not that weird, maybe in TX, I dunno...now if they named them odd names like celebrities do in TX, then we'd have an issue lol.

    At least they didn't name one of their kids Kal-El like Nicholas Cage did.

    They stopped putting birth announcement in the local paper for two reasons...one, to stave off any sicko showing up at the new parents' house and kidnapping the child and two, because too many local radio personalities were making local "bad baby names" a regular drive-time show feature.

    BTW, I had a case file for a person named LaToxca CheVette, first and middle names. No lie. I think Memphis is the epicenter of bad made-up names....or as I call them, names that doom your child to a life of fast-food employment. I think employers automatically think your are as ignorant and ghetto-fab as your name sounds and by default, won't take you seriously.

    I met a girl named Lexus before. Actually, if I ever had a baby girl, the name Mercedes would be pretty cool

    You know, I had all these names picked out as a little girl and stuff as to what my kids were going to be named. I got pregnant and reevaluated my life and situation, came out with a totally different name...way off! LOL. :)
