Ok, so my daughter has a friend sleep over last night. Girls name is Mercedes ?!? Whats up with the German luxury car name. Did the kids dad want one, but had a kid instead? Maybe she has an older brother named Diamler?? I may be out of touch i guess, but i'm thinking whats worse than that is naming your kid Lexus after a japanese luxury car. Maybe if i was a redneck I'd name my son Silverado. It just seems kinda tacky to me. All my kids have traditional names.

Mercedes has been used for many years as a name. whats the big deal? i'm sure there are many that think "traditional" names are stupid too. stop being so closed minded.
 
I had a neighbor growing up named Mercedes. She pronounced it Mer-sa-des though. As long as someone doesn't name their daughter "Ram" we're ok. :lol:
 
Hi my name is Porscha and these are my friends Corrolla and Civic...

Lots of hispanic women are named Mercedes. It's been around long before the car.

I just feel bad for Henry. His parents were just MEAN.

I really like the rear end on that Civic. I don't care for the Corolla, she is going to end up looking like a Crown Victoria. The Porsche needs bigger bumpers if she's gonna pass the Ottmundr federally mandated 50 MPH bumper test...

If I am not mistaken Mercedes was the name of one of the founders daughter. That being said our cocker spaniel is named Mercedes and our English Springer is Bentley.
 
car names are stupid for kids
but not as stupid as places, rivers or last names

names MEAN things (whether you believe it or not, makes little difference), and kids will end up living up to that name

I think non traditional names can be OK & fine to outright weird. The spelling can be Unique to outright ignorantly stupid showing true lack of any grey matter much less I working beyond the basic breathing and eating mechanisms.

My aunts name is Mercedes. She was given that name in the late ‘30’s. Given her Mother’s accent, Spanish from Spain, it is pronounced and accented in a unique manor that only Spain delivers.

In thinking about it, it could be seen as tacky to name your kid after the sunrise, Dawn, or the flower, Iris, or after a pretty expensive rock, an old co worker named his kid “Dymund.” (Diamond)

I think Frank Zappa went a bit over the edge with “Moonunit.”
Moon, by itself is different and OK-ish I guess. IDK
But “Dwezell?”

A friend's wife told a story the other day. She's a vice principle at an elementary school.

One kid is named "L-A". They weren't sure what to what to call her and asked her how to pronounce her name. She didn't really answer, so they asked if it was OK to call her "La". The kid said "sure".

Mom called up and was pissed. Really pissed because they weren't pronouncing the name correctly. She said the "-" isn't silent and then went into a profane rant about how stupid they were. Long story short, the kid's name is pronounced "La dash ah".

Rule of thumb when naming your kid... Think of the name on a resume for an executive position. If it's girl, think of the phrase "Now dancing center stage is the lovely...." before naming her.

My parents named me Richard Sweeney.. No wonder I'm a dick!
 
I knew a 'Portia' in grade school. Wasn't there a Dodger named Marquis Grissom? Named after his moms Mercury....
