I had a friend in nursing school named Mercy, she was from Nigeria and extremely smart and sweet, so I have a good association with it. Her name was often mistaken for Marcy, though. But some of her older patients liked to call her "Nursie Mercy". (I also know that fellow nurse here at BtN, Lillian, also loves the name Mercy. :b) Her mn was Fatima, btw.
I wouldn't necessarily use it, but only because there are other names I love more. I would love it on someone else's child, though. If I had to or wanted to use a virtue name, though, it would be on the top of the list. :)

I couldn't use it because then I'd have to refer to "when I had Mercy..."
I think it's nice, I love Mer- names and it's attractive and usable. It's just not quite my style. I guess because the concept of mercy implies the concept of peril or sin, and so the name is vaguely melancholy to me.
Oh, and it fails the boom boom test most ridiculously.

What is the boom boom test?
Hehe I hadn't thought about the boom boom test. That would be pretty ridiculous.
I would actually love to use the Spanish name Mercedes, which means "mercy," but the problem is, people today would mostly think it was the car, and they'd think it was tacky. So I would definitely consider using Mercy.

Of course, any of those can be switched around. Like any? They're all from your list, but I can add some more later if you want.
