RE: Odd names WAS Re: [ranchos] Re: Godina Family

 
Hi Peggy: 
 
Actually, "Peggy" is a nickname, a diminuative, for Margaret and what could be prettier than Margarita?  You really are a Margarita at heart.  And Margaret, I believe, may come from the Greek for pearl.  And margaritas are also lovely daisies.   Merry Christmas!

I think they're all awesome, strong names, although I don't understand some of them.  To me, they're all unique and very very cool.  I wish my mom had named me a typical Mexican name.....I've never liked my name and got teased a lot.  Peggy, my name, sounds caucasian (nothing against caucasians, but I would have like something more .....I don't know....ethnic.......)
 
Merry Christmas everyone!

You mentioned custom plates;
 
My father's name was Nemesio, how common is that?  not very!  and my maternal granfather's name was Priciliano.  I am John Gonzalez, or if you prefer, Juan Gonzalez.  My custom license plate is:  1Gnzlz  (One Gonzalez) =sounds like Juan Gonzalez.  There are four Juan Gonzalez in my great grandfather's line, I am number five.  (Boring.  Lack of imagination? or just trying to perpetuate the name ?)  None of my kids are named John.

Aren't you glad to not be named Reducindo or Reducinda?  One of my
ancestors is named Narciso, another Prudencio, another Petronilo, and
another Zenobio...what names!!!!  Marge:)
There is nothing wrong with these names. Our ancestors apparently felt these names were much better and different than the custom plate names.
