This is not my favourite name in the world, but it's definitely nicer sounding than a Paisleigh or a Zayden. The only possible downside is the lack of nicknames. But the car association is not THAT bad as far as associations go.
This name only makes me think of Henry Ford, who, along with making trucks was also a notorious anti-semite. It's not an association to be proud of in my book.
I like it as a surname (Like Gerald Ford, Henry Ford, Harrison Ford, Tom Ford, Betty Ford) but I can't see it as a first name. Also, there was a character in Hitchhiker's Guide called Ford Prefect.
Not a terrible name. Just makes a very bland first name. In my opinion, Ford works best left as strictly a surname.

Tolerable as a surname. As a first or middle name basis, it doesn't even SOUND like a name. If I met someone named "Ford" I'd honestly assume that was their last name or nickname.

This is a surname, it is too dull to be used as a first name.

I met a guy named Ford and I could never look at him without thinking about a car.
I recently met a little boy with the name "Ford." I kept thinking of a "Ford" car or truck. I just couldn't get past that image. It's not a name I would use for a child.
Famous bearer: Ford Prefect, a character in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is not his real name, but rather the name of a car. He chose it to "blend in" with the people on Earth.
