[Margarita Vallazza <TeaCozyGran@...>]

That's what I thought, too, Em!  BTW, my middle name is Alicia...my folks said it was after a family friend but I don't remember ever meeting her.  My first name is after my Scots mother's sister but in Spanish.  I've since discovered that my aunt was named after her grandmother, who was named after her own grandmother.  Had I known that I would have named one of my own daughters a variant of it.  Marge, who is Shinju in Japanese.:)

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. </x-tad-smaller>

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.</x-tad-smaller>
