In 1987 I got married again, in 1988 I sold my 1961 3000 to pay for a  
vasectomy reversal, in 1990 my daughter was born, Austen Marie. My wife and I  
compromised on the spelling of the name as she was a big Jane Austen fan and 
it  seemed Austin was more male.
      It's now 2010, my daughter will be  turning twenty, the wife is gone 
and my 3000 has been replaced with a 100, BN1.  I don't plan on any more 
vasectomy surgeries, Austen has her eye on the Austin,  but knows it will be 
years from now and life is good and we all get a kick out  of the story.

My son's  name is Jensen.

When my wife asked me for boy baby names she got the  list: "Jensen,
Austin, Healey, Studebaker". I threw Studebaker in for the  pure
ridiculousness of it.

For girl names it was "Mercedes, Portia,  Eleanor." (for the three car
guys in the world that may not know, Eleanor  was the name of the
Mustang in Gone in 60 seconds, 1973 in the original,  1967 in the
remake)

She mocked me until we went through all the J  names in the baby book
(family tradition is first boy has a J name) and we  crossed them all
off going "I knew a guy with that name and he was  a
(moron|w@nker|idiot|loser|etc)" or "Too old testament/Amish  farmer".
The only name left was Jensen. So, I won!

The problem now  is she was left with two baby names that she loves,
Eleanor and Desmond. So  it looks like I shall have to start shopping
for a bigger house.  :)
