There's probably a reason why it's not common.

I was called "white trash" for asking what people on this board thought of the girl's name Mercedes (it's a family name). Be prepared for rude comments re: Benz.

sounds like something a 15yo would name their kid

Mercedes has real meaning, even though its nms

Benz is just ick

The Bends is a horrible disease.

what about Bentley? also a type of car and perhaps more of an "everyday" name?

Emie28 · January 2010

I prefer Toyota. More practical and family friendly.

I was thinking this too!!!!

ggmae · January 2010

I don't like Benz at all, but Bentley isn't so bad.

Mercedes isn't bad either so to the PP who said she was criticized for it, I have no idea why that was the case.

kellyandjoelinchi · January 2010

Umm, it sounds pretty low-class. Not sure anyone could take it seriously. And the previous poster was right about The Bends being the name of a disease...so, just, no. Bentley is better but you will def have people making fun of you...plus it sounds like the name of a butler.

candaceleigh21 · January 2010

Its not terrible..it is your baby and if you love it then go for it! What are you looking at for a middle name??

teg · January 2010

MU...D?

So funny!

But in all honesty, it might seem cute now, but would you really want to be a grown man named Benz? Could you be taken seriously at a job interview? Would anyone want to go to a lawyer with the first name Benz?

really?? white trash?? that's a lil rude and ignorant. From what I know mercedes is a very popular hispanic name..and i doubt it has anything to do with the car company.
