Given Names


 
Another common coincidence is when a man or woman lost a spouse they would re-marry and the second spouse would have the same given name as the first spouse.
 
When my parents divorced my dad married an Esperanza and my mom's name is Esperanza, when my Padrino in Ensenada lost his first wife Berta, he married again to another Berta and I have found several cases in my research of widows or widowers who re-married and married someone with the same given name as their first spouse.
 
Could this be coincidence?

Maybe.  But even now, many young people met in church
and eventually get married that have different names.
I believe many marriages were arranged by the parents
during the time of our grandparents.
