"According to officials at the Social Security office, more and more parents are naming their children after cars. This past year there were 353 girls named Lexus and 25 girls named Infiniti. You know who I feel sorry for? The 3 girls named Hummer."-Jay Leno

Mercedes was the name of a love interest in "The Count of Monte Christo" by Alexandre Dumas. Mercedes was not necessarily who you'd want as your daughter's namesake.

The Mercedes car was named after someone's daughter way back when, so this would take it full circle...

A friend of mine from New York, met a girl named Mercedes when he came up here to Montreal.

Sister of a friend of mine was named Mercedes. She was a cute little Red-Head. I say cute because she was like 5 last I saw her....just a sweet little kid.
