Jamie Case didn't want to take her new husband's last study when they got married over the summer. So she and her fiance, Chris Hodges, decided to choose a new last name. They decided on "Ford," and we're sure it had nothing to with the Fusion that Ford loaned them for their honeymoon road trip.

In any case, the recently wedded Jamie Ford came up with a list of 11 criteria to aid in decision making. Among them:

"The word 'Ford,' as defined by dictionary.com, means 'to cross a river.' It implies strength and determination, two qualities Chris and I hope to embody in our marriage."

"Ford is the only American car company that didn't take bailout money."

"Driving around the country seeing the Ford sign everywhere prefabricated Chris and I feel like a part of a larger family – we loved that."

Any of you plan to take "Pontiac" as your new last study in a tribute to the G8?
