I do like the name Mercy but I know that I would have to use Mercedes to ever use it. Oh well...The name is growing on me but I know I'll still never use it.

I love the name Mercedes, but never though of Mercey as a nickname for it, but it is really cute!!

I love the name Mercedes sooooo much!! Its always been one of my favourite names for a girl!! I want to name one of my daughters Mercedes, when i have children. I love the nickname Mercey as well!

To Mercaedes looks like mer-KAY-deez or mer-KAY-des not Mercedes. I would assume her parents picked that spelling so they could use the nn Caedy.

I like Mercedes but I don't care for Mercey.

I always associate Mercedes with the car. Nevertheless, I think it's a pretty name. It's very rare now, and I think I've only ever come across one girl with that name.

I like the traditional spelling better. To me, the advantage of a recognisable name is that you're not constantly spelling it out for people - so there's no point changing it.

I think I like the nn Cedie(pronounced Sadie)I just prefer it to Mercey.

I would love the name Mercedes if hadn't been for the cars my mum has always driven. She's always had a Mercedes for as long as I can remember, so whenever I hear the name, I automatically think of the car. It's really aggravating, because it's such a pretty name!

I love Mercedes

I associate it with the fiancee of Edmond Dantes in "The Count of Monte Christo", not with the car. The car was named after a woman, it was a female name before it was a car's name.

The doctor we went to last week was named Mercedes. I prefer Mercedes spelt the traditional way. Mercy is ok, but I prefer Cedie (like Sadie).

I like the name Mercedes; I'll most likely use it as a middle name. Mercaedes is such an awful spelling, though.

I like the name Mercedes; it's a shame that it's permanently associated with a car. Mercy is a lovely nn.

I prefer Mercedes as a MN. My sister-in-law is named Helena(pronounced Eh-lay-nuh)Mercedes and I think it is beautiful!

I really like the name Mercedes. I'm not going to lie, either: I originally liked it because it was a car name. Now, however, I've kind of disassociated it with the car and just think of it as a name.

Mercy is a sweet nickname. I like Caedy too, but spelt "Cadey". Where I live, we pronounce Katie with a hard T ("KAY-tee"), so it doesn't sound the same to me.
