Baby Names

Cashiers

Went to get fast food at lunch and the cashiers' names were Lexus and Mercedes (not related). Goodness.

Re: Cashiers

  • Mercedes is a legit Spanish name, so I wouldn't side-eye that. Lexus is a whole other story
  • Ditto PP.  Also, I knew a couple who had a pair of Golden Retrievers named Lexus and Mercedes, respectively.

  • Yeah my grandmother is Mercedes and she is Hispanic so it's not out there to me.

    I'm pretty sure she wasn't a Hispanic or Spanish person. 

  • Oh God...Lexus?

  • I have a soft spot for the name Mercedes, mostly because of The Count of Monte Cristo. It's a very pretty and feminine name, as well, although I'd never use it because of the car association. Lexus, on the other hand, is hideous.
  • I don't mind Mercedes. Sadly though I know a Mercedes and Bentley sibset. I also know a Lexus, definitely a silly name.

    I'm pretty sure Mercedes Benz, the actual woman after whom the car company was named (the founder was her father) was also not Spanish or Latina, so it's okay. Really. The name predates the car.
