I am pretty sure that some of these were people's name before the car companies came along.

Daimler didn't name his cars after his daughter. Neither Karl Benz or Gottlieb Daimler had a daughter named Mercedes and what many people don't know is that Benz and Daimler never met and both founded two separate companies: Benz & Co. and the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft.

Daimler had a loyal customer named Emil Jellinek (an Austrian businessman and enthusiastic racedriver) who had a daughter named Mercedes. Jellinek referred to his personal Daimler racecars as "Mercedes" and soon enough, all of Daimler's cars became known as Mercedes. That's the short version.

In 1926, when the companies Benz & Daimler merged, the cars became known as "Mercedes-Benz".

I had this girl in my class and her name was spelled "Celica" yet she wanted to be called something like (I am not good at phonics) Saleeka, to differentiate herself from the car name.

I hope I meet a kid named Infiniti some day. That would be interesting.

As Roller said, Mercedes was actually a classy name for a female before the brand came along.

However, I don't believe Mercedes was the daughter of Daimler. I'm pretty sure it was the daughter of one of the main investors of the company... and Karl Benz took a liking to her.

I have actually met one or two people named Mercedes. It's an elegant name. Of course I wouldn't name my daughter that, but I can understand why you would.

I also agree with Roller about Lexus-- LEXUS?!!! How about Alexis?

"Hummer" would be appropriate because maybe he could have avoided naming the child altogether had he settled for one... :)
