Names with a strong significance

Names with a strong significance
 
Do you know any Spanish names which have a strong significance or a very obvious meaning?

Like this lady named "Dolores".
She was the daughter of "Juan Fuertes" and she was married to "Carlos Barriga." So, she got quite a painful name,
Sra. Doña Dolores Fuertes de Barriga.

You are confusing fuertes (adjective - strong) with fuentes - springs, fountains :)

Sra. Doña Dolores Fuertes de Barriga - Lady Bad Stomach Gripes

JPablo July 25, 2010 07:50 AM

Yup, or "Strong/Bad Belly/Stomach Pains".

Do you know of any others?

Even if it is in English?

I remember something like a book "The correct behavior of a Sheep" by author A. Wolf, or something of the sort.

Elsa Litre

Elva Lazo de Cañon

María Cuevas del Monte

María Dolores de Cueva

Habían muchos más, pero ya no me acuerdo.... :)

JPablo July 25, 2010 09:25 AM

¡Ah, gracias, Chileno! :D :D
¡A ver si alguien se acuerda de más!

I used to know hundreds of these, mostly forgotten. I remember a comic where if there was a photographer, he was always called Len Scap.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Some more for the collection:

Zoila Vaca del Corral
Zoila Pérez Sosa
Jesús Cordero Degollado
Rosa Espinoza
Aurora Lechuga de Mercado
Susana Alegría
Dulce Paleta de Limón (In Mexico, "paleta" is a lollipop)
Rolando Mota (In Mexican Spanish, "mota" is another name for marijuana and "rolar" is to pass something on from one person to another.)

This is one of my cousins: Violeta Ramos de Flores. :rolleyes:
And I hope there has never really been a Doctor Mata Lozano. :D

@Pablo: By the way, Spain used to have a real jewel in the government: A minister of the interior called "Mayor Oreja". ;)

Hello Jpablo.

Good afternoon.
The name you have wrote in your last post is funny.
Now here on my island there people who the name of Reyes Akal.
Absolute here on the city they are owner of a funerary, then it's result some strong.

I don't like all the related with the die.:)

JPablo July 26, 2010 01:57 AM

:lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D
@Angélica... These are really funny (I don't remember having heard any of them before, except "Mayor Oreja... Aguirre?", I think...)

@Crotalito, yes I agree with you. :)

AngelicaDeAlquezar July 26, 2010 08:43 AM

@Pablo: The only ones I know that exist for sure, are my cousin and the minister of the interior... but the rest of them are all possible anyway. :)

JPablo July 26, 2010 09:05 AM

Yes, indeed. I know of one that is to me so embarrassing I would not include here, if I was that person I would have changed my name in any way I could... yet, the person would go to the grave with her name...

Interestingly enough, in the school we used to make fun of the actual names of friends, doing some alteration too... Anyhow, it is like playing with the words... something Gosciny (in Asterix) also used to do as his trademark... Asterix, Obelix and Panoramix... (sin ir más lejos) :)

You mean these, Asterix...?
Right here,
http://www.asterix.com/

CrOtALiTo July 27, 2010 02:04 PM

Yes but asterisk is the brand name isn't a person name right.

I have other ones.

Pedro Navaja.
Just is the name of a Mexican movie.

That last name is very cutting right!

There're more names with related with weapons.
They are very strong for the people, when you go to the Civil register, and you tell him, my soon will name Anibal Cascajo.

Then he says What?

Jijijijiijij.

Or the Rasputin last name.

AngelicaDeAlquezar July 27, 2010 02:30 PM

@Crotalito: JPablo está hablando de un cómic para niños, donde el héroe se llama Asterix. Casi todos los nombres de esos cuentos son palabras modernas que terminan en "-ix", porque hace referencia al antiguo lenguaje que se hablaba en territorio francés cuando los invadieron los romanos.

"Asterisk" es una marca, que nada tiene que ver con las historias del cómic francés.

CrOtALiTo July 27, 2010 02:31 PM

Here other name.

Pedro Zapatasos.

sosia July 27, 2010 02:50 PM

Camilo Jose Cela coleccionaba esquelas con nombres raros, como la pareja de casados "sr Mier y Srta De Cilla"
Bart SImpson también tenía muchos
otros
Benito Camelas
Elena Nito del Bosque
Armando Cabezas
Saludos :D
