That reminds me of the English name "Enis".

Sherry and the Enis (for you Family Guy freaks out there).

I forgot to include the translations for the names of my previous post. Rosa Espinoza would be like "Rose with spines", and "Anito", well, in spanish, "ito" is a diminutive. Like the way the "Y" works in english. If you say "Thingy", you are talking about a little thing. The word for "Anus" is "Ano" in spanish. This guy was named "Anito" (little Anus), so he changed his name in a hart beat.
    


That clarifies things (LOL).  But in American English, t occurring after a stressed vowel and before an unstressed vowel sounds like a Spanish r (as in cara), or almost like an English d.

So Anita sounds suspiciously like "I need a..."

Sorry to be so obvious...

i met a guy whose surname is Agonizante ( dying) hahaha... poor guy.. and the worst thing is that i met him in a hospital [IMG]height=17 alt=LOL src="http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif" width=17 align=absMiddle>

    
My highschool mates always talked about a guy called "Alan Brito Delgado" (thin little wire), but I think they made that up. But, I know a girl called "Rosa Espinoza". Also, when the laws of this country started allowing people to change their names, the first person that used the benefit was someone called "Anito". He was famous because of this. He even appeared on TV.

Well, the spelling is not exactly right, but our local Dutch fish seller is named Dick Kok. Not sure why he doesn't want to go to England on holidays....

My friend's surname is Bone and her brother is called Jason, known always as Jay...

I went to school with a Karly Davidson.

There's a car sales place near me called Dick Lovett.

I think that's it... oh and I also know someone with the surname Dick!

Personally, though, I just know someone whose surname is Coak, for Coakroach (Well, I translated it, but that changes nothing). Pretty sure he doesn't even mind anymore.
Here in the Philippines it's ABCEDE
