Spot the person in this article who’s dad was a Toyota fan
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12154568
Think my olds used to own one of those
The car, not the person in the article..My dad had one too, a couple of Ferals stole it and wrote it off . They are worth decent money now
Maybe her parents had hoped that value would rub off onto her..

There’s probably a joke about a comfortable luxurious ride waiting to be told there.

Actually Cressida is not an unusual name. Some character from Greek traditions I think.
Yeah. Greek / Trojan stories. Supposed to have been some sort of traitor I think.
I was actually looking in that article for someone called Corolla. Sienna and Avalon spring to mind as Toyota names but it would be hard to go past naming a son Hilux (if I was a bogan toyota fan).

My daughter's friend Kennedy is a really cool kid. Not sure I would have named a girl "Kennedy" but with all the "Madison" and such floating around, why not?
Anyway, Kennedy has 5 brothers, and I believe her Dad is a hardcore Catholic Philippino (Anglo Mum), so they just had their 2nd daughter.
Carrington.
Yeah. Yeah, nah...

Facts have no place in a thread mocking people on the internet.
Also Hilux is a great first name although I think numbers aren’t allowed in people’s names so SR5 isn’t a possible middle nane. Maybe surf or fourunner?

what makes me laugh is the parents attempt to justify the use of an odd name, rather than we wanted to be a bit different and liked this name they come up with some vague reasoning about it.

To prove these names are a silly recent thing I could search right through my school yearbooks and I wouldn’t find any Crestas, Zephers or Vivas. Datsun would have been laughed out of town as would Super Snipe
We had a Zephyr at school. They might as well have called him “ helping police with their enquires” .

We had a Harley Davidson.

We had Harley and Bonneville , I don’t think those two names were very rare though compared to Japanese bike names. Never come across a Katana or Goldwing

FAKE NEWS
Cressida is a Middle Aged invention placed into the Troy narrative.
Chaucer's deals with the story. Effectively Cressida was married to Priam's youngest son but sent to mainland Greece as a hostage whereupon she drops her knickers for Diomedes as soon as she sees him.
Shakespeare also has a play Troilus and Cressida but it is all a mediaeval fiction. Cressida became a byword for female betrayal and inconstancy.
Strange name therefore to give your daughter - or a car

@dogmeat given the boganess of someone that would name thier kid Cressida, I suspect it is therefore named after the car version...

Just "Ute" works. "Flatdeck" if you wanted to go a bit highbrow (or have an under endowed girl).
I have had the thought that if I had found a breeding partner when in my late teens (yes, very unlikely), either of my offspring (Quattro or Boeing), would have also bred by now and I would be spending my time babysitting young eTron and Ioniq - instead of talking shit on here.
Quite pleasing some of the decisions that we make in life. -

I saw an interview with the Commissioner of the London Met Police on TV the other day. An unfortunate surname too.

Not as unlucky as her sister Anita
