Unique and meaningful baby names are all the rage right now. If you are expecting a new addition to your family, here are some suggestions based on my favorite tractors:
If you love IH, consider these names…
For a boy:
Cyrus (as in Cyrus McCormick, founder of the Farmall company)
William (as in William Deering, another founder of the Farmall company)
For a girl:
Nettie (wife of Cyrus McCormick and one of my personal heroes)
Irma (IH’s fictional spokeswoman, Irma Harding)
If you’re a fan of Allis Chalmers, consider…..
For a boy:
Edward (for Edward P. Allis, company founder)
Thomas (for Thomas Chalmers, company founder)
For a girl:
Alice, or go all-in and spell it Allis!
Case collectors, consider….
For a boy:
Case (works especially well as a middle name)
Casey
Jerome (founder of the company: Jerome Increase Case).
For a girl:
Cassandra
Kaysey
Lydia Ann (wife of Jerome I. Case)
If you enjoy John Deere tractors, consider….
For a boy:
John (bonus points if coupled with Deere as a middle name)
Stephen, WIlliam, or Charles (son-in-laws who saved the company)
For a girl:
Emma (John’s daughter, her husband saved the company)
Sarah (John’s mother, who raised him as a young widow)
For Oliver fans who want to branch out beyond Oliver and Olivia, consider…
For a boy:
James (as in James Oliver, company founder)
Charles (as in Charles Hart AND Charles Parr! Double win!)
For a girl:
McKenzie (one of the first companies the Oliver Farm Equipment Company
purchased. The merger bought them a line of potato farming equipment.)
