Weldon. A friend of mine has the last name Steele. Damned if I couldn't get him to name his kid Weldon Rusty Steele... I mean... How cool is that? JOE
My 1st born son's middle name is "Maxwell". Which was an old car manufacturer. My 2nd born son's first name is Clay. Our last name isn't Smith but I'm sure most true hot rodder's will know it's origin.
If I had a kid, male or female, I'd name them after my great great grandmother whose given name was Rebel (a good mid 19th century Southern Lady's name... ) And it's car related...
Name him Pigpen. It'll get him dates with ugly girls that can cook! (Don't ask how I got that awful name.) pigpen
How about Roth, Winfield (maybe a girls name...Winnie), or Barris. I always thought Cal was a cool hot rodish name. Not sure why I relate it to hot rods, but I do.
I wanted to name my son Cadillac Jack... but Joe Jr. worked out pretty good too. If you need an "S" name, how about Studebaker?
Hank Cash! I always liked Thelan after Don Thelan What about Pete or Jake? Chase Drake Moon Coil Amp Sparky Chip Steele Shaft Shelby Evel Cale
How about: Nicson, Milner, Earl, Duece, Duke, and they've already been mentioned but I also like Roth and Harley. ?
First born son's name is Blaze, after Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider. His Mama didn't know it at the time, but it reminds me of that Paul Newman movie set in the forties by the same name where he plays some politician thats sleepin' with a stripper named Blaze Starr. Best lookin' redhead I ever seen. Wonder why we're divorced? He seems to be gettin' along alright with the name and there damn sure ain't two others with that name in his class!
Just my 2c, but for good karma you can't beat naming your kid after your dad or gramps. My kid Chester (Chet for short) is named after his great-grandpa; weird name for a 9 year old, but he likes it.
I know a Gauge and a Race. But here's MY dumb list........... Mickey ***not the MOUSE!*** Carson ***hey look at that CAR SON, oi that was cheesy or carson top*** I LOVED Tucker! Royce Clay was good Holden ***laugh it up Dundee!*** But I ALWAYS liked Benjamin..........instead I got a Nathan. Why? Becuase it sounds like a good football players name. Shoulda ended that relationship then and there! xxx Brandy
anything but...hoossseee.... I hate that fu****ng name, you'd think a million be enuff but noooooooo...did I say I hate that name.
WHEN my daughter was born we didnt find out if it was a boy or girl, so we had to figure out both names. We ended up naming her Reese Phaeton M. (RPM) so the acronym thing worked for us. but some we considered were fenton cam (actually an acronym for us) isky weiand wynn
There's an old writer/racer named Sammy Wolfe, I guess it don't sound as hot rodish as say Isky, Bumpstick or something like that but he wouldn't be harrased as much when he was trying to grow up either. Frank Zappa named his kid Fuel Rod or something like that. No wait a minute maybe that was Zippy the Pinhead that named his kid Fuel Rod.
My HAMB name "Bud Crayne" is from the book HotRod by Henry Gregor Felson. Bud was hotrodding kid nobody but the kids understood. My real name is Levi. I insisted that we name my son the same because I had never met another Levi in my life. He now goes to school with four kids named the same We named my daughter Racquel and she goes by Rocky. She works with Deaf kids and her "sign language" name the deaf kids gave her is both fists up like a fighter
I HAVE A SON NAMED "DAYTON" AFTER THE WIRE WHEEL COMPANY....HEY THEY MAKE A NICE VINTAGE HOT ROD WIRE WHEEL!
