m2pt5 posted:Wouldn't that make for ridiculously long surnames after just a couple generations? It can (and does), but generally, a child just takes each of their parents' second surnames (which is generally their father's name). For example: Pablo Garcia Jimenez + Sofia Alvarez Ramon = Juan Ramon Jimenez And Juan's child would inherit the name Jimenez plus the second of the mother's surnames. At least, that's how it works in Spain.

I had a Thai friend named Titaporn. She went by the nickname Nam. Also knew someone who I don't particularly want to doxx, but her name was pronounced very similarly to "I want cock".

Interesting, my coworker lives in Madrid as his wife is Spanish and when they announced their daughters name they put his surname second to last and hers last. Could it be because it's an Irish surname that would look very odd with the rest of her names being super Spanish so they stuck it back there to make it easier? (I'm just speculating but I'm super curious about this now)

(I'm just speculating but I'm super curious about this now) Nope, I accidentally wrote it backwards  The father's surname is first, then the mother's; your coworker's child's name is typical.

Mazikeen is a character from Lucifer (the show, I dunno about the comic), I think. I don't know if it has any biblical significance. But either way that's bleugh. Not mention some of those others. How is Pippi just now getting it's debut? That's like, Pippi Longstocking, man!

There's a porn star named Veruca James but I guess that doesn't mean it's not a weird name e: oh and the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory character, probably should have thought of that first.
