Well, Alicia, I have a sister, my only sibling, who is named Alicia
Emma. I will have to tell her she should have a saint's name since she has
a pagan name. Our parents had saint's names: Luisa and
Guadalupe. I wonder where they got the name Alicia. There is no one
in the family with that name. I know that I was named after my mother's
mother, Emilia. My middle name is Christina---can't get any saintlier than
that. I was born almost on Easter, maybe that is why the name
Christina.
Marge, most of the names you mention sound like they came from the classic
Greek or Roman---pagan?

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.
