We have a new redneck name leader in the clubhouse, folks. In case you don’t know, a Hemi is a type of vehicle engine. This is analogous to naming your kid Gearshift, Shotgun or Bird Dog.
That’s great Courtney, but if he lives in the USA he better have “I am a Maori from New Zealand” tattooed to his forehead or else everyone will think he’s named for his dad’s Dodge truck.
Hemi is a Maori name based on the English ‘James’ or ‘Jimmy’, or possibly ‘Sam’, I can’t remember. The Maoris were a bit short on consonants when the English arrived (but they have truly epic vowel sounds) and the letter J was not yet available. Now that supply has been provided, they are world leaders in the production of Jaxxons, Jaycyns and Jaykubs.

I agree V8! Who names their kid Hemi likes it’s cute in America?!
White trash. Plain and simple. It’s like naming a kid ls1 or big block.
i think gearshift would be a cool name if your kid was a transformer
I totally agree.
