Do not like
Which is said because I love the Count of Monte Cristo. But the name Mercedes seems so shallow, flaky and cruel to me, and the nickname "Sadie" for it makes me want to hurl. No idea why I feel this way. Monte Cristo's Mercedes is nothing like that.When I was younger, a friend of my aunt's wanted a baby, but couldn't get pregnant, so they asked a friend of hers to inseminate herself (with a turkey baster), with the husband's sperm. The baby they got out of that procedure was named Mercedes. The four of them all lived together after the baby was born. It was quite the country scandal if I recall (they were all from a small town). Fascinating!
