In Spain the names for women end mostly to letter "a" and names for men end to letter "o". There are of course names which are not following this rule. For me it is quite strange that someone can have name like Jesus the name of the son of the god. Or Àngel and the female version of it is Àngela. These names can be translated but are not used as names in Finland.
On the other hand Finnish names Nino and Nina must be strange for Spanish because Spanish words niño and niña means boy and girl. Or Finnish name Mira which means in Spanish look.

I have never find it weird the name of Jesús. I am used to it. Some Erasmus students thought it was strange though.
ReplyDeletePersonally speaking, I like girl names o boy names but not names that have female and male version, such as: Juan, Juana / Manuel,Manuela.
