[Opinions] Re: More BA from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
in reply to a message by CuteCat
Very interesting to see the Brazilians are favouring classic Portuguese names over the stereotypical "made up" names you see in telenovelas and footballers.
I like:
Carolina
Miguel*
Lucas
Pedro*
Sofia
Augusto*
Gabriel*
Tiago - lovely to see the correct spelling! (rather than the hideous Thiago)
João
Valentina*
Laura
João Guilherme
Bernardo*

That's true, the trend in Brazil right now is to use classic names that haven't been common for generations, like Maria, Miguel, Helena, Bernardo, Sofia, Arthur, etc. Some of these names became SO popular right now that they don't even seem to sound so elegant anymore (that's just my personal impression though), but I have to agree that the current trend is by far better than the made-up names craze.
I agree with you. I think thar Brazilian telenovelas and footballers really do make up names.
