Hey! My brothers name is Narciso . . . I love it! I think its very unique. For a very long time my brother was very upset because of his rather unusual name. Soooo many times people would pronounce his name wrong such as: Narcisco, Narisso, & Narisco. Our grandfather was also Narciso (our father name him after his father, of course!) but we didn't understand where the name came from . . . Narciso means the same as Narcissus (flower & greek mythology of the vain man) but as I continued to do my family tree I found that the first "Iglesias" in Mexico Juan Bautista (originally from Spain abt. 1790 & my 5th grandfather) had four sons: Narciso, Juan, Francisco & Nazario. The name just continues to go down the tree . . .

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