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.
