Ours would be baby Ka - a little harsh sounding I think but it does have multiple pronunciation options Kah Kay Kaaaaah Kay-ay

or baby Vectra which actually has a nice ring to it...........

We would have had baby Esprit, baby Voyager, baby Multipla and baby Espace!

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 19/11/2009 16:01

DD would be Audi or A4 not such a great ring to it.
DS would be Peugeot 206 his midle name would be hire as it was a hire car my mum had and she took me to hospital in labour in.

Tortington · 19/11/2009 16:01

first car i had when i had kids - was a Talbot Horizon

Talbot - i think thats a really nice bazzin name - beats the shit outta vectra

RustyBear · 19/11/2009 16:02

Depends if it was my car or DH's

DH's Toyota for a girl, Avensis for a boy
Mine Daihatsu for a boy, Charade for a girl

Though if it had been at the time I actually had the DC, a boy would have been Ford and a girl Orion....

Bramshott · 19/11/2009 16:02

My DD2 would be Baby Passat, which considering she actually WAS born in it we did momentarily consider !

SkipToMyLou · 19/11/2009 16:03

DD - Passat or Volvo.
DS - Passat or Polo.

Ugh.

bibbitybobbityhat · 19/11/2009 16:06

Bloomin heck @ Talbot Horizon Custy! Takes you back eh?

My boy would be Ford and my girl would be Escort. Heh heh. Nothing wrong with Escort for a girl, is there?

MadreInglese · 19/11/2009 16:06

Oh I like Talbot and Daihatsu, very cool

A4 could pass for a Welsh name I reckon, "Aiffor"

ds would be Peugot 306. Which doesn't really have much of a ring about it. Suppose we could keep the 306 as a middle name though.

Mcdreamy · 19/11/2009 16:07

I would have

Baby MX 5
Baby Audi A6
Baby S Max

OmniDroid · 19/11/2009 16:08

Octavia

or Yaris. I quite like that - baby Yaris.

Longtalljosie · 19/11/2009 16:09

I'm not sure about calling my daughter Honda Civic. Life is tough enough...

edam · 19/11/2009 16:09

Those parents missed a trick though, they could have called the newborn Carenza like that archaeologist on Time Team.

bluebump · 19/11/2009 16:11

Baby 106 GTI or Baby Jaguar depending on whose car we were out in at the time! Both equally awful!

MadreInglese · 19/11/2009 16:12

oooh yes baby Yaris

SoupDragon · 19/11/2009 16:13

I guess I'd have Renault, Laguna and Dynamique

109 stagecoach bus.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 19/11/2009 16:16

Baby Jeep
not too bad

silverfrog · 19/11/2009 16:17

Dd1 could have been Vogue or Discovery. Rover natch for a boy

dd2 gets the delightful choice between FRV (not sure it's a good idea to call your dd Family Recreational Vehicle ) or A3

phobiccauliflower · 19/11/2009 16:17

Our twin girls would be called Previa and Yaris. Bit chavvy? Or OK?

DontHauntMeBaby · 19/11/2009 16:19

Corolla, which is actually quite nice.

If we had another it'd be called 5, which is a bit postmodern for my liking.

SolidGoldBangers · 19/11/2009 16:20

I did actually have a friend some years ago who was called Mini for this reason.

DS was born in a hospital bed, but had he been born on the way to hospital he would be Docklands Light Railway.

Purplerizla · 19/11/2009 16:20

mercedes for a girl, bentley for a boy.

ledodgy · 19/11/2009 16:20

DD would have been Vectra

Ds1 would be focus estate (in fact he was nearly born in it!)

Ds2 also focus estate
