Speedy baby girl is named after car

A couple have revealed the unusual birthplace that inspired their baby girl's name - not Brooklyn or Paris ... but a people carrier.

Luckily for her parents Tony Richardson, 24, and Samantha Smyth, 23, it was not a Volkswagen or a Honda but a seven-seat Kia Carens.

Miss Smyth, a mother-of-three from Poole in Dorset, went into labour at 2am on Sunday and called her mother for a lift to hospital.

But little Kia could not wait and popped out as they arrived at Poole Hospital at 4.30am.

They ditched plans to call her Tilley and named her Kia to commemorate her unusual arrival two weeks early weighing in at 6lbs 7ozs.

Miss Smyth told the Daily Echo newspaper in Bournemouth: "She literally came flying out. It was the best birth I've had.

"It was horrible to see the umbilical cord but the nurses were so quick it was unbelievable."

I'll name mine Punto.

I'm from Tallaght so it won't really stand out.

riiiight. I was expecting something of quality, like Mercedes or atleast BWM.

This is old hat. My neighbour many years ago had a baby girl and named her Carina (probably with a K but I was too young to care). Even at a young age, I could see they named her after their Toyota Carina. Lucky they did'nt choose leanburn instead !

I was hoping it was Porsche. Primera might be nice, 911 a bit difficult as she grew up.

Leon...lenny...that could work God forbid the worst happens...

weeder · 19-11-2009, 21:12

would "caren" not have been much more dignified.

*antodeco* · 19-11-2009, 21:13

Koenigsegg would be cool.

If the pregnancy was directly after a little bit of naughtyness, they could have called her: Buggerati

EPM · 19-11-2009, 21:17

Could be worse...lucky they didn't have a mitsubishi carisma
