We rescued a puppy with the same name as my mom’s nickname. We were able to get him trained for a different name. Imagine calling him and driving mom nuts…
I think Mercedes originally came from a daughter’s name and the auto engineer father wanting to name something after her.
My favorite is when someone chooses to name a girl with a name sounding like Portia but spells is closer to Porsche, but never exactly the same.
My last name is Oswald. My wife and I really liked the name Kennedy for a daughter, but that doesn’t work well.
Hint: US history
My son is named Ford lol. Wasn’t after the car but wasn’t not after the car. ![]()
In several cultures, especially Spanish-speaking ones, Mercedes has been a common name for many centuries. I wasn’t aware Germans/Austrians used it as well, but it’s very old indeed.
MEMES AND JOKES!!! Not quotes from Wikipedia research
Fine, but I was surprised to find out that Trek started out as a division of an appliance and electronics distributor. Interesting…
I feel like the second meme is reversed.
My cousin is trying to go pro in freeride and I get a little excited when both wheels leave the ground. We are both mountain bikers but we are not the same.
I like that ![]()
Well that’s at least 2 people left on Strava
So how do I delete my pictures from Strava? Is there an ‘easy way’? I’ve been doing it the long way I think.
Yeah, that last cartoon is funny… And I swear my ortho doc was looking at my Strava account when he made some pointed comments, and said he had ‘hear’ I was already riding post-op…
Oh I know!!! I rode a 100cc dirt bike in junior high, and got a 250cc when I turned 40. The changes in ‘getting air’ was interesting. On that 100 I tried to get air as much as I could, which on a 100 wasn’t that often, and yet with that 250, getting air seemed to be a purpose for its existence. There were a few times I nearly freaked out. But I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. I could hit near 60 across my yard. ZOOM_ZOOM!! But trick riding? I fear gravity far too much as I’d gotten older… ![]()
My son is named Fox. Wasn’t after the suspension, nor the protective gear brand, but it wasn’t not either ![]()
You named your son after a news channel! ![]()
