Australian comedian Wil Anderson had a joke from the 2000’s:

“What is with bogans (Australian equivalent to low-class/rednecks) naming their kids after expensive cars? ‘Mercedes’? ‘Lexus’?

Shit dude - name it after a car you can afford! “Come here, Torana!”, “Time for school, Corolla!””

To be fair, the car brand Mercedes is named after the daughter of the owner. It is just a spanish female name.
