I just found out that we are having a boy today. I am trying to find a name. Of course I am into hot rodding and racing. Any ideas? One kind of crazy one I thought of is Diesel. My last name is Firestone. I think Diesel Firestone would be kind of cool.

Thanks
Adam

Leftfront?

65 Chevelle?

Redline?

Congrats :thumbsup: Are you sure this is the right place for suggestions? :D

Radial?

Flat?

Out of balance?

Congrats :thumbsup: Are you sure this is the right place for suggestions? :D

I agree.

I thought of William Thomas - but initials would be a problem. :D

HA! Most excellent joke!

Mike, are we into that fancy dancy wine already?

look up the most popular names of the 40's and 50's and use one of them.. the popular names today are all kind of girly sounding to me.

Smokey Firestone. Anything less is just that...less.

how about,

sidewall?
bead?

or what about thinking out of the box and say something like first middle and last names ie:

earth wind firestone
ready aim firestone

Fred?

W. Oval Firestone:D

Seperating Tread Firestone? :D

LK

How about Cameron, so you can call him "Cam" for short :)

I think Adam is regretting soliciting our help.... anyone know his wife? I'm sure she would listen to reason.

How about....

Jerico
Fourspeed
Muncie
Levi
Richmond
Tonawanda:D
Acadian

OR

just plain old Chevelle Firestone:yes:

Wide Oval
Butch

Herkimer...Didymus...Allowishus

Are you looking for a common name like John or Mike? How about something like Steve?

Anthony......

Torque would be a good name for a gearhead.

Something, anything normal.....

Leave the funny cute "could be a license plate, shortwave radio call sign or a tshirt" names to hollywood.

Indiana Firestone, or Indy for short :-)

Indy Firestone. has a ring to it no?

flat?:confused:

Give up on the tire-tie in.

Give him a masculine name that is popular, famous, and memorable and something that would fit right in as a future TC member when he grows up..

How about calling him Andy69...

..(okay that would be infamous, and probably not grown up yet)...

I don't really have a suggestion but a funny (scary) story regarding the naming of my son.
His mother had pretty much settled on the name Mallard Scott!! She was open to Mason Edward, but much preferred the former atrocity. I could just imagine him going through life being called Ducky, or worse.:noway:

Luckily, she had a rough time with the delivery (Yes, I'll probably go to Hell for saying that.:D). Because she was indisposed shortly after the birth, the Nurse came to me to ask about the name and other pertinent info for the birth certificate. She was a little ticked off, but she got over it. Mason and I were able to dodge that bullet.
He's now 17 and I sometimes have to remind him that if it weren't for me...

By the way, Congrats Adam!

Beaumont sounds like a good name. Beaumont Firestone, kinda flows off the tounge doesn't it?
James

Whatever you do.... remember this child goes through his ENTIRE life with the name you've given him and initials make a big difference too. I agree with others on looking at some of the "older" names and going from there.

My son's name is Levi ~ so whoever suggested that... thanks! :) We happen to love that name, he's not named after the jeans that came off during conception, or anything like that. Come to find out after he was born, it's a family name on both sides, we had no idea! :)

How about I got my wife pregnant because I didn't wear my Firestone...:yes:l:)l:)l:)l:)
Wait... that won't fit on the birth certificate.
Kevin

Call him Butch or something manly. Forget matching it with firestone.

How about Itsa....Itsa Firestone.Or Woodrow.....Woody Firestone.

I thought of William Thomas - but initials would be a problem. :D

That's a good one :D WTF

My 10 year old son's name is Blaine and my 2 year old son's name is Gage. They are not very common names around here.

My 2 year old son has some cool initials GMC

Try,
Weston Firestone.
Johnny Firestone
Super Firestone
Duce Firestone
Blow out Firestone:D

Harvey Samuel? (founder of Firestone):)

I have a cousin named Gunner and an acquaintance named Storm. They're both unique names.

Keep it simple and name him Joe or Adam.

Sue is a good name.
James

Jacob or Jake for short

Seriously....How about Daniel Floyd Firestone?

Ok I got it. Garrett Firestone. It just oozes with class!:thumbsup:

Garrett Webster Firestone!

Garrett Webster Firestone!

I think this can all end now,done deal.

Garrett Webster Firestone.:yes:

Shane is by far the best choice but what about

Slick The Firestone

You could get an awful lot of money trying to auction off "name my son"

....! I thought Gary and I had the final decision... what gives?

Keep it simple and name him Joe or Adam.

I hope you're not serious:noway: Do you KNOW how many Mikes I meet everywhere I go? My middle name isn't any better either, Joe.....so I just go by my last name a lot of the time because everybody remembers that one:yes:

Name him BIG BLOCK CHEVY, then call him Big Chevy for short...by the time he gets out of college and you look back at the money spent to raise him you might wish you had named him VIPER hence you could of bought several of them by then.:yes:

how about slagathor? as a running joke my son still thinks i should have named him that.

Wow, there are some really good ones. I think I may stay away from anything having to do with Firestone tires blowing up or killing people though. Keep em comming.

Adam

Ok... one more - Grosvenor ..... call him Gross for short.

My wife liked the name "Cole" but I didn't as it reminded me of Tom Cruise in "Days of Thunder"
I liked the name "Alex" (nickname Axle :) )and we were sure of that name for at least a few months.

The week before my son was born, I was working in the shop and NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough popped into my mind for some reason.

Meet Cale :)
