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.

@crucial said in Bogans with kids:
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

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. -
@taniwharugby said in Bogans with kids:
@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.
