Too boring? Too many associations with the car manufacturer? I've always liked Ford, but I don't know if I'd ever use it because of the reasons mentioned earlier. But then again, it's short and simple, and no nicknames are needed, which makes everything easier. So, wdyt? Do you think it would fit better as a middle name? Any combos? My favorite is Ford Marcus. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas. Thanks a lot! :)

I actually happen to love it, and actually, I don't immediately associate it with the car. I immediately associate it with a character in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He's my favorite character, and so I like the name. Ford Marcus is a great combo.

Ah I love that movie! I never read the book, but I heard it was just as good.

I like it, even though it has an association with the car dealer and many celebrities.

I like it as a middle name. If the girls had been boys one of them would have been Ryder Ford.

I actually like Ford. The car association is a little hard to get away from, but I like Ford because of the excellent writer Ford Maddox Ford. I think it's a great name in spite of the car associations.
