No, Alberto, our ancestor's names were not unusual in their time and
place, but a name like Gorgonia [Garcia],
---------------------------I do not see why it
would sound awful: It is from St. Gorgonia, one of the early Christian
saints.
my father's mother, sounds so awful to us now, especially those of
us raised here in the US.
--------------------------that's because they
lack the knowledge of early Christian Greek saints.
Refugio sounds ugly also,
-------------------------Since when has refuge
from anything been ugly??

Hey, there is nothing wrong with our old
Spanish
names. My great-----grandaunt's name was Maria
Guadalupe
Leogarda De La Cruz Pena Morales, 1797,
Valle De Allende,
Chihuahua,Mexico.
They were long but beautiful.
