Names

People's names in this country are so interesting to me- there are some very common names that when you translate them to English just seem a bit strange. I've been told many people name their children based on the pregnancy, and by that calculation I feel very bad for many women of my town...
Hilaria (hilarious), Mercia (mercy), Faztudo (does everything), Crimildo (criminal), Miseria (misery), Lembranca (remembrance), Inocencio(innocence), Narcisio (narcissist), Facilio (easy), Silencio (silence), Salva (salvation)... and those are just some of my students...
