Remember, when it comes to naming children you have to try and break my record of having 51 letters in my full name.
Anyway, here's a list of motor racing related names for one to ponder:

- Thomas / Tomas / Tommi (Where do I start, Tommi could be unisex)
- Dale (Unusual, but not conspicuous)
- Yannick
- Michele (If it's a girl, what else could you go with, honestly?)
- Pat (Actually)
- Katherine (Yet another alternative)
- Bruce
- Gilles
- Henri (Come on, you know you want to)
- JJ
- Christian (Would seem appropriate after Christian Devereux's death at Donnington Park in May)
- Joest
- Adelaide (Could be shortened to Adele, you know, like Iain Banks' wife)
- Juan
- Gendo (Not at all motor racing related, I just think it's an awesome name)
- Elise
- Klaus

That's more of a noun, (not that one can't name their child a common noun) but I believe there are many who have used the Proper Nouns related to that - as in Jesus, Krishna, etc, etc.
As a matter of interest, though, a name can affect you landing that job.
How? And Why?
There are a few studies related to that phenomenon; the most recent I have looked at was by Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan - "Are Emily and Greg more employable than Lakisha and Jamal? A Field Experiment Evidence on Labor Market Discrimination," National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, 2003. The researchers would send 'fake' resumes, identical except that one would have a traditionally white name and the other an immigrant-(or minority) sounding name - and the 'white' names always garnered more interviews.
For instance (according to this study) if Deshawn Williams and Jake Williams both sent identical resumes to a potential employee, it will be Jake that would be called for an interview.
This brings to mind another thought then . . . are their traditionally 'white' names, and traditionally 'black' names?
Yes. There are studies that have collected such data. Obviously it can change from country to country and even from state to state. Let's look at California as an example:
Top Ten Whitest Girl Names:
Molly, Amy, Claire, Emily, Katie, Madeline, Katelyn, Emma, Abigail and Carly
Top Ten Blackest Girl Names:
Imani, Ebony, Shanice, Aaliya, Precious, Nia, Deja, Diamond, Asia, Aliya.
(Guess how many of those 'black' names were not accepted by the spell-checker.)
Top Ten Whitest Boy's Names?
Jake, Connor, Tanner, Wyatt, Cody, Dustin, Luke, Jack, Scott, and Logan.
And here are the Top Ten Blackest Boy's names:
DeShawn, DeAndre, Marquis, Darnell, Terrell, Malik, Trevon, Tyrone, Willie, and Dominique.
There is more to this, though . . . as the study progressed many more idiosyncracies of nomenclature came to light. You may be actually able to tell how rich and/or educated the parents of a child are by the name they gave the child.
Yup. Children with certain names are most likely to come from 'poor, uneducated' families. Who knew.
More on this later. I'm already late.
