I hate this as a first name. The car makes it a rather tacky name to use today, but it has surely sounded a bit pretentious for a long time.

I hate this name because it makes me think of that racist industrialist Henry Ford.

I recently met a little boy with the name "Ford." I kept thinking of a "Ford" car or truck. I just couldn't get past that image. It's not a name I would use for a child.

I think this name sounds kind of cool but I wouldn't name a kid this because of the car association.
