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. :)
