... the Benzingers, who named their first child, a girl, Mercedes. To be fair, Mercedes IS a girl's name (I'm only mentioning this because a lot of people seem to not be aware of that - not saying you are one of them). The car company (which later merged with Benz) picked the name because some of their models were named after a girl with that name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merc%C3%A9d%C3%A8s_Jellinek Still, if your last name is a variation of Benz, it's a pretty silly choice, unless you own a dealership or something like that. |
