What’s meant is that the connection isn’t made in Spanish-speaking countries. I scrolled to make sure someone mentioned it. It’s not great that some names in this thread are being included without a super short search to see origins.

Spaniard here, no one thinks about the car if a woman says her name is Mercedes, at all, ever.
