Default Daughter hopefully born 7-18-19

I am having my first child this month and I made a bet with my wife that If she’s born on 7-18-19 I get to name her Zora. She hates it but I would flip if she was born that day. Stupid post I know, but what else is there to talk about on the C8 forums anyways?

What do you guys think? Am I going to ruin her life naming her after a great corvette persona?

Ha Ha. Good one. Well you may have missed all the talk about how it is unacceptable it is before it has been revealed. That is what we have to talk about. Zora is probably better than Bill Mitchell or some other names.

Congrats man!!! That would be so cool having a child on a historic day for corvette. Zora would actually be a good name not gonna lie.

It would be cool, but your wife and daughter might never forgive you.....

Zora and Avett are both either gender appropriate.

Congratulations!What a moment ...
In your case,Corvette is a very,very distant second place ...
Pick a beutiful name that has nothing to do with Corvette .

If your daughter is born that day, the C8 reveal will be the furthest thing from your mind. In five years the car will be old news, but your daughter will be your life. Emma's a great name, don't consider saddling her with something strange. Good luck.

Thanks guys I appreciate It, I read your comments to my wife and she said “it’s okay, we will get a dog and name her Zora”. i may need to calm down on being such a corvette fan lol.

One of the better C8 posts I've read all month.

Congrats on your child to be. But Zora?

Aveo sounds more exotic. Hahahaha

Congratulations to you and your wife. God bless and best wishes that you have a beautiful & healthy baby girl.

Not to sure about Zora for a name.. Maybe go with Emma which you like and make her middle name Zora if your really that big of a Corvette guy.

Just remember things change in life.

I was a die hard Corvette guy and still love the Corvette but my Callaway sit in the garage more than my 458 as the 458 is just more fun to drive.

So now I am a huge Ferrari guy too.

Good luck to you and your wife. Exciting time I am sure.

Congrats! Now the real question is what if she goes in labor as reveal starts? Watch reveal or be in baby room? Zora...only if you buy her a C10 for her sweet 16!

um, wrong way. Mercedes was named after an employee's daughter, already extant.

The name Zora is a girl's name of Arabic, Slavic, African origin meaning "dawn"

Dawn is lovely, Wouldn't want any relative of mine named after a product built by GM.

Poor Duntov, Russian equivalent of a boy named Sue. No wonder he carried a gun.

Wishing you a lovely, healthy baby!

How about Zora spelled backwards (Aroz)? Pronounced “A Rose”. Fitting for a beautiful baby girl...

How about?
Carisma
Princess

Tell your wife it’s by far not the worst car associated name possible.


Mazda Titan Dump (Only in Japan)


congrats btw!

Sure! And, everytime you say her name you will be thinking of an old, Eastern European, gray haired GUY.
