Baby girl named after car

Yep, its a KIA and she'll probably wear pink :O)

A Dorset couple have named their new baby daughter Kia - after she had to be delivered on the back seat of a Kia people carrier.

Tony Richardson and Samantha Smyth were heading to Poole Hospital in Sam's mum's Kia when they realised they were not going to make it.

Baby Kia was born at 4.30am in the back of the car - and the couple decided to ditch their original name of 'Tilley' to mark the unusual birth.

And Kia has now offered the couple a new Kia Carens - the same model baby Kia was born in - worth £18,000.

Miss Smyth, 23, said: "Wow! I was not expecting this. We're over the moon. We could do with it. Between me and my partner we have six kids. We can't fit them all in the car."

Michael Cole, managing director of Kia Motors, said: "All of us at Kia are delighted for Tony and Samantha and flattered that they have called their new baby Kia after she was born in granny's Carens.

"We would like to welcome Kia to the Kia family and wish her a wonderful life."

OK, so which QLer will be first to name their baby LandCruiser ?

LOL....just remembered a lass in my university who had this really funny name and out of curiosity i asked her what her name meant...coz it apparently had no meaning.she solemnly told me the story of how her name came to be.it seems her dad got a phone call from the hospital announcing her birth and while he was waiting in a traffic jam,there was this Mazda car in front of him.he got inspired (???) from the word 'Mazda' and decided to name his daughter Azda....since that sounded too funny,he changed it at the last moment and made it Asna! :-D LOL Guess people get queer thoughts when they're just too happy :-P
