Found this in a 1889 newspaper:
The boy baby born on C&A train 3 the other night has been christened Isaac Pullman Fisher, the first name in honor of the conductor Ike Wilcox, the second after Duke George Pullman, in whose car the little fellow first opened his eyes, at the rate of sixty miles and hour.
Hopefully it was the train going 60 mph, not the boy’s eyelids.
I’ve also come across several people with the surname Carr who were given Pullman as either a first or middle name. One was Pullman Palace Carr (b. 1894 in Kentucky), whose full name reflects the original name of the company: Pullman’s Palace Car Company (est. 1867).
P.S. Two babies named for specific Pullman cars were Livonia and Jimmie.
