Well, in Spanish none of the "e"s in "Mercedes" have an accent mark in them, and in Spanish the accent mark only flags the tonic syllable, it doesn't change the pronunciation.

So no.

That's how you spell that name in French, though. And yes, you do say all those the same there, too.

I'd say they sound slightly different in French, the middle e is a bit lower than the other two.
