My mother's name is Nemecia. Yes, with a c, and she hated the fact that people always told her it should be spelled with an s, and that it was a man's name. She and all of her siblings were named after her saint's name. In other words, my abuelito would look at his Catholic calendar for a name when his child was born. He ended up naming two of his son's Alejandro because they were both born on the same day, different years of course. class=594502016-03012006>Irma From: ranchos@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ranchos@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John Gonzalez Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 7:52 PM To: ranchos@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: Odd names WAS Re: [ranchos] Re: Godina Family 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.

There is nothing wrong with these names. Our ancestors apparently felt these names were much better and different than the custom plate names. Jerry

I have a sister named Aurelia! and also had an Aunt Aurelia. I believe it it is a Latin word that means "Golden" Aureliano should be proud to have a "Golden" name. John Gonzalez Wildomar, CA.

Here is a list of names in MY family tree: Narciso Zerefina (or Zeferina) Leonisio Tranquilino Plutarco Abundio Blas Deciderio Germana Romualda Abato Tirso Dionicio Casimiro Sabina Sinecio 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!

My mother in law, who was from Ecuador, had a middle name that was
Torribia (how terrible for her:))That was her mother's middle name.
She had a sister named Zoraida and another sister named Rosenda (not
too bad but still). Marge:)
