Help[Opinions] Reminds me of my grandfather.

Since all he ever drove were Lincolns. :-D
If you can stand up to cracks like that, I'd say it's surely usable. People already have associations for Lincoln, but there are enough different things that come to mind that it's part of the general name pool now, IMO. Does that make sense? It's like Charles--how many famous Charleses can you think of off the top of your head? A bunch. It's kind of like there's enough Charles--and enough Lincoln, Kennedy, William, whatever--to go around.
I think Linc is awesome, but probably because I'm so into the fictional hero Link. :-/
