That’s not bad as long as the last name isn’t Davidson. If we eliminated all the motor vehicle names (e.g. Porsche, Mercedes), that would eliminate a big chunk of my aunt’s 3rd grade class. Although every time I get introduced to someone with such a name, I can’t help but wonder if she’s named after the place she was conceived. 
Yeah, it would be a bummer to be named Buick!
Friends of one of my Ds had twins recently and named them Flora and Harvey.
Consolation, I mentioned many, many pages ago that my sister had a Mercedes in her class, sister was Porsche and another sibling was LeBaron.
@Onward…would Chrysler have been worse? B-) The mind boggles.
Edsel…would that be a boy or a girl name?
In that case the car was named after the boy, of course. The girl’s name would be Edselle. Or Edsella. B-)

Try this fun tool to find out your baby name if born today.
Enter your first name, gender and year of birth. Tool will tell you your names rank for that year, and then that same ranked name if born today.
For example, 1965 Susan becomes Ava today.
I know a lot of women named Mercedes. It’s a pretty common name in the Puerto Rican community. I currently have two co-workers with that name.
Not to mention the actress Mercedes McCambridge. But a girl named Porsche, or kid named LeBaron, no.
@Madison85 - I spent way too much time looking at that site. 
I put in one of my sisters and her name mapped to her baby’s name!
What a shame for him, having a Mercedes and a Porsche as siblings.
It’s possible that the parents intended it to be the proper pronunciation, which would be the same as the spelling of the name as Portia.
Oh, what a fun tool! One of my daughters had the 503rd most popular name in the year she was born so today she would be Virginia - which is fine - but in the 1930’s she would have been Howard and in the 1900’s she would have been Otis! Who names a girl Otis?
I found the site that connects a person’s name in their birth year to the name he/she would have today really interesting. One of my great-aunts and one of my cousins would have had the name that a cousin of QMP’s actually has–an interesting coincidence. I would probably have married my spouse anyway, if he had been given his “today” name, but it would have given me pause.
My dad had a very rare name, which cannot be found at the site. I think that it is great as a middle name, but probably would not give it to a child as a first name. One of my cousins has it as his middle name.
I wonder how many people are named Sport.
Also, I think it’s time for a revival of Bruce.
@Madison85 --Thanks for the fun tool! I have one of the quintessential boomer names, 9th most popular in 1955. It’s #610 today, and I have never met a millennial or Gen-X with my name.
If born today, I would be – wait for it – Madison.
Egad, I just became Jasmine. Too trendy for me!
I’d be Victoria.
A 1932 Lucille would be Lucy today! Practically full circle!
I’m not so sure. I know a Richard Cockshott. Yup, he goes by Dick.
