Oh, man, that reminds me of an old commercial for the Chrysler Concord. The ad campaign was promoting the car's roomy interior, especially the backseat. I only saw the commercial once because I expect it was pulled off the air quickly.

Mom, 5-ish-year-old daughter and baby are driving in the car.

Daughter: Mommy, where did we get our names?
Mom: Well, we named you girls after where you were conceived. Your dad and I went on our honeymoon to Savannah, so that's how you got your name.
Daughter: And what about my sister?
Mom: [long pause] ...Um... Concord is a city in New Hampshire, dear.
