Alexis Name Puns

She’s a Lexus

I have an Xterra that I affectionately call Alexis.

"With all the off road stuff on the Xterra, I think it needs a more butch sounding name."

"Like what?"

"Liam."

"Liam?! You can't just change her name like that."

"Yeah, Liam Nissan."

I thought her eyes were going to fall out she rolled them so hard.

Today I was at a Honda dealership finalizing a lease on my girlfriend's new car. The salesman was chatting us up and showed us a picture of his daughter. He says "This is my 2 year old daughter. Her name is Alexis". Without missing a beat I said "Alexis? Why didn't you name her a Honda?". Both the salesman and my girlfriend gave me the "oh no you didn't" look.

Great-Uncle Jimmy: I bet I know why your father named you Alexis. Alexis: Why's that? Jimmy: Because that's what he would have had if he hadn't had a daughter.

I laughed way too hard. Alexis was offended and mad at me for what was probably much more than a fair amount of time.
