There are many characters, things, and people that Ford reminds me of, but the most prominent at this time, is James "Sawyer" Ford from LOST... that television show holds me captive every night, hah.The name itself I guess is a bit rustic, straight to the point, no nonsense. Even though I have many associations for it, my mind would automatically come to the conclusion that the parents are a bit too smitten with their Ford car/truck, or something similar. It isn't a very professional name.
