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...

Actually Cressida is not an unusual name. Some character from Greek traditions I think.
Facts have no place in a thread mocking people on the internet.
Also Hilux is a great first name although I think numbers arenât allowed in peopleâs names so SR5 isnât 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 wouldnât 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 â helping police with their enquiresâ .

We had Harley and Bonneville , I donât 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

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. -

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

Most of the comments are bang on.

that poor fucking kid.
That's essentially child abuse in my eyes. The parents are the only ones who should be apologising.

@mariner4life yes the airline were dicks, but seriously, do they not expect people to take the piss?
Maybe they could have spelt it how they wanted it pronounced, and then when someone said, oh thats an unusual name, what does it mean, the bogans could then have explained it is the first 5 letters of the alphabet, kinda phonetically, and we thought if we spelled it Abcde, our kid woulda copped too much grief....
