Re: Odd names WAS

[Alicia Carrillo <alliecar@...>]

Marge,

 

My dad was named Restituto and he went to court to legally change his name to Jose. Many people called him ''Tuto'' for short but he hated it.

 

 And yes I am glad my mom named me Alicia and not Juana because Juana was my saint day and that's the name the priest told my mother she should name me. He told her Alicia was a pagan name and it had to be a saint's name. Three cheers for mom who stuck to her guns.

Aren't you glad to not be named Reducindo or Reducinda?  One of my

another Zenobio...what names!!!!  Marge:)
