Nombres que conozco de verdad:
Anita Matris
Dulce Del Rosario
Ralph Di Norcia
Harry Kirschner
Helen Berlin
Rose Merlo
Leon Manzo
Anita Mann

The last name Lipshitz:lol: doesn't need a first name to make it funny.
Some Argentinian last names like Fuks:o and Fukelman:eek: are fairly unacceptable here in the USA.
PS
I nearly forgot Luz Guzman (no lie)

Really funny the name Leon Manzo.
There're really names very strong in the world.
Here in my country the mostly of the people names to the new babies or person who names very strange inclusive for themselves.

En EEUU me parece que las personas de apellido Colón deben cambiar su apellido. En mi trabajo no me creen que alguien se llame Mr. Colon

Those whose last name is Colón and live in the US should change their last name. At work, they don´t believe me that Mr. Colon is a real name for anyone.

Sr. Intestinos.

Mr. Colon

Sin ofensa ninguna, pero al que no sabe español le parece un horror.
Dicho sea de paso, mi país es el país de los Colones. Y no les voy a decir. ::)



Esto es para uno de los comentarios al principio. Pero todavía no puedo hacer esto bien. v
Or strong belly aches
Ms. strong cramps

I've just read about a genuine computer consultant called Mr Hacker. :lol:

[poli]

I know of a Dr. Kwak

Incidentally is there a term for quack in Spanish. In this case quack means
someone who pretends to be a physician.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@Poli: I think the equivalent would be "Dr. Mata Lozano" (both are family names, and they sound like "mata lo sano"). :)

Yes with your contribution, I could remember a name of a doctor here on my island.

The Dr. Can.:)

It's funny the name, because just he's a veterinarian;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :D
All of them very funny!
Thank you.

Last one by Crotalito, just reminded me how philosophy became a dog's breakfast... thanks to Kant-Nietzsche...

[In case this leaves you :thinking:, caniche (fr.) m. Perro de pequeño o mediano tamaño, con abundante pelo ensortijado.]

Yes sometimes the people have funny names.
Although when you have listened to the names you cannot laugh you.:D

Do you know any Spanish names which have a strong significance or a very obvious meaning?
By the way, I've just realised that "strong significance" is probably a literal translation. I'm not familiar with an English usage "strong" with the sense that "fuerte" has of something shocking. Anyone got any suggestions for translating "significado fuerte"?

[JPablo]

Well, I believed I used "strong" in the sense 18 given by Random House unabridged, strong 18. distinct or marked; vivid, as impressions, resemblance or contrast: He bears a strong resemblance to his grandfather.

Dolores Fuertes de Barriga, left a very vivid impression in my childhood... :rolleyes: And yes, we are talking about literalness. I don't think these names are necessarily 'shocking', although they could be. Maybe the title is in itself a continuation or specialization of the thread on puns and/or misconceptions on the language...

As for "significado fuerte" I guess you could go with something like, "intense meaning"? "shocking significance"? "disturbing significance"?

Maybe my original idea was on the order of a "specific/funny significance"... which is more or less what has been coming up... :)

Hello Pablo.

Barriga result be the last name of the person.
Also Espinazo Juan Raul result be a last name in México.

Then I don't know what is the number exact of the names stronger of the world.

Someone has a list.;)
