Vespa - Not On Our List But WDYT?
| Fri, 03-30-2007 - 11:32am |
I am just curious to hear opinions about the name Vespa. My dh would never consider using it, and it's not really on our list of favorites. For some reason I'm just drawn to this name, though. What are your thoughts?

Jamie and I just put a hefty downpayment on a Vespa. We know tons of people who have them -- they are very popular in the city because they are convenient and get excellent gas mileage.
Honestly, I would be astounded and appalled if someone I knew named their child Vespa -- just as I would be if they named their child Jeep or Harley. Now, I know a lot of people do give their kids vehicle names -- Sienna, Harley, Lexus, etc. -- but it's just not for me at all. I would strongly advise against this name. (And honestly, even without the association that I can't overlook...I just don't like it as a name. I don't think it's very pretty. Sorry.)
AJ, enjoying life with C.

It means "evening" or "evening star." The "vespers" are evening prayers. I actually think it's a lovely name with a lyrical meaning, though I prefer the original form Vesper. Too bad about the scooters, though.
