LOL, I've met a lot of people with these names, given their socioeconomic backgrounds I can state that 99% of their parents didn't know that the names were old & not related to cars.

I'm sure Shauniqua, Twizilla, etc have roots in Greek mythology too

they put that name up on screen at the same time... I wouldn't know. So why do they call him that ?

If you name your kid Toyota they will probably never forgive you.

I knew a girl in high school whose name was Shelby. Her dad was a big car guy.

It's a nickname that he back at Auburn and stuck. I like the saying, "Why take a buss when you can ride in a Cadillac." In reference to Bettis from the Steelers who has the nickname "The Bus."

Nickname was actually from when he played football at Etowah High School in Atalla, Alabama.
