302.0. "YOUR OWN NAME" by FOOZLE::MUNIZ () Fri Sep 16 1988 11:12

    Hi! my name is Lucia margarita (margaret in english) Lucia stands
    for a saint and margarita for my grandma. I do not like my name
    but I do like my nikename Lucy.  I was born on the 13th and may
    be that's why of my bad luck well anyways I do not know why my 
    mother do not call me margarita only.  I don't like Lucia just 
    because in spanish that means I like to show up.  and I hate when
    in the school children call me that.  by the way I like margarett
    more than an spanish way.
                                        .....................LUCY

         Actually, Lucia Margarita sounds kind of nice.  I don't know
    very much Spanish, but, i did study a good bit of Latin some years
    ago.  Anyway, i did some looking in my Spanish/English dictionary.
    Your name can also be translated into English as "shining" or 
    "brilliant"; that's not so bad.
         I met many people with perfectly terrible names when i was
    a salesman with Montgomery Ward several years ago.  Some of the
    Russian, Polish, German, and Italian surnames i've heard are down-
    right offensive and/or vulgar in their original language.  Perhaps
    the bearers of these names don't change them because few people
    here understand them.
         Oh well, its getting late...
