who here knows their name in spanish?

nati · 08-30-2005

anecdote.....i met three american guys in pdc........when telling them about my language, they all bragged about knowing their names in spanish......

John told me his teacher had taught him that in Spain he would be called JUAN.......excellent...so far!
then, Harold proudly said he knew that his name in spanish was Juan.
Simultaneously, showing off, Drake said HIS name was Juan............
imagine their faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my question here is: WHO HERE KNOWS THEIR NAME IN SPANISH????????
and where are those teachers getting their diplomas from???????? haha

I'm not sure about Spanish, but in Portugues it is Ronaldo. I guess if I played soccer, it would be Ronaldinho

.

Ron, who lived in the same neighborhood as Pelé back in his Santos days.

My husband is Juan (john). I don't think there is a Spanish translation for every name, just the ones that originate.

Eg:

Carlos = Charles
Maria = Mary
Marta = Martha
Alberto = Albert
Eduardo = Edward
Jose = Joseph
Jorge = George
Miguel = Michael
Pedro = Peter
Ricardo = Richard
Alejandra = Alexandra
Blanca = Blanche
Juanita = Joan
Lucia or Luz = Lucy
Raquel = Rachel
Rosa = Rose

I don't think there's any translation for me (Leasa) or my kids (Jorden, Kelsey) as our names are either not in original form (Leasa or Lisa derives from Elizabeth) or come from original surnames (Kelsey) or places, rivers (Jorden or Jordan)

That's my dos pesos, for what it's worth!

BTW, nati, you are gorgeous! What do they put in the water in your country anyway?!

My name in English is Linda and in Spanish it's Linda (Leenda). I quite like what it means though!

I think that my name is still Darby weather its in English or Spanish...

Jacko · 08-31-2005

I've heard it said that Jack can be loosely translated to Joaquin, but not being sure, I was left with Jacko, not want to use the more formal Juan on such a casual forum.
