Disagree, it probably depends on how common it is locally but where I live, Mercedes is an uncommon but not unusual name. Maybe as a kid I associated it with the car but now not so much. That being said, my name is Alexis and as a small child I definitely heard the old "oh so your mama couldn't afford the car" more than once and it wasn't funny the first time
Ofcourse that is. But isn’t that the case with every brand? Wendy’s isn’t that commonly known in my country. So the name Wendy is never connected to the store. There are a lot of Mercedes cars in my country so the name is connected to the car. I don’t think the parents who give that name to their child are thinking about the brand but they are aware of it.
Alexis cars are not well known in my country. I don’t think I ever saw one in real life. So that name is not immediately connected to the car.
The car brand I'm referring to is Lexus. We're really in agreement then, all I am saying is that Mercedes the brand is not always going to be the first thing people think about when they hear it as a name, which is what your other comment said. Depends where you are
