A few years ago my cousin told me if she ever had twin girls, she'd name them Mercury and Mercedes. Thankfully I think she forgot all about that... Personally, I like the name Rory. A good, celtic name, for a celtic boy. I also like the name Miguel.

It could have been worse. She could have named them Ford and Chevy.

Actually, my eldest brother is named Ford, from a family surname. Nothing to do with the cars. The old-days movie actor Glenn Ford is a direct cousin of ours. (His real first name is Gwyllyn, from the Welsh.) I think it's a cool name, Ford, for a guy. There was also a great, great writer, Ford Madox Ford. The actress Mercedes McCambridge, I always found that to be a very cool-sounding name. But, Mercury is a, well, I can't say here what kind of car Mercs have always been, I'd be deleted lol. Really Bad Cars.

:cool:

Bad names from my family:
Luther (my grandpa)
Damon (my cousin)
Kirby (cousin, younger brother of Damon. Did my aunt and uncle name him after the vacuum cleaner or what?)

Yeah, I kinda like the name Ford, too. Bad girl baby name: Jasper. Definetly unusual for a girl.

We once had a pet mynah bird named Jasper but he was a guy. That's definitely an odd name for a girl, but still a neat name. Makes me think of butlers in old murder/detective mysteries. "Show us to the body in the library, Jasper, will you? And then we'll be having tea in the drawingroom."

I think Jasper would be the detective. "Elementary, my dear Watson."
