We’ve all heard tales of people with Harley-Davidson tattoos. My Peruvian friend, who grew up in the slums of Lima, has often told me of coming across girls called “Madeinusa” because that name was written on so many labels of clothing (Made In USA) and was perceived to be a name conveying luxury and class.
But now a British couple has called their baby Kia, after her parents Tony Richardson and Sam Smyth used a Kia car to get to hospital for the child’s birth. Mum Sam couldn’t wait to reach the hospital and her baby girl was born in the back seat. The infant was originally planned to be called Tilley but the trip to hospital was clearly so memorable for the parents that they changed this to Kia.
Faced with this great publicity, Kia (the brand, not the baby) has made the best of a PR tool from heaven and gifted the couple a 2009 seven-seat Kia Carens valued at £17,995
Should I ever have children, I shall be calling them Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Lindt and Paul-A-Young-Fine-Chocolates. Brands be aware.

Just let us know where you’d like us to send the chocolates Ruth (or is that Paul A Young?)
