What do you guys think? Am I going to ruin her life naming her after a great corvette persona?
Let your wife choose the name for your daughter. And your wife should let you mow the lawn

Seems like poor parenting to pick a name with the consideration if a kid can't live with it, they can change it after building up 18 years of resentment towards the folks that saddled them with it.

I sometimes think the countries that require you to pick something off an approved list for your kids have this right.

a lot of us are single and going through a mid life crisis so when you throw in this reveal, and the already insane discussions (+ anticipation) it's just the last thing I want to know when coming on here.

Side Note: Asking for recommendations for a name that has something to do with a Corvette? You might as well name her Crank Shaft Zora like what is wrong with the world??

Hope you have a happy, healthy baby girl.
PS, If you win, let your wife name her.

Zora after many changes is short for Zachary in Russian........

I have a 4 year old and an 11 month old. Good luck to you. Buy a case of RedBull.
