Help[Opinions] Re: Massachusetts Birth Announcements
in reply to a message by Shaymin
I'm wondering if Gerasimo's and Matheus' parents are Brazilian. Both of those names sound Brazilian.
I actually think Martinique sounds kinda cool as a name even though it's the name of an island. I've been to Martinique more than once. Great place.
I'm hoping Fields and Dykman are family surnames since both of them sound really awkward as given names, particularly the latter.
Cornelis Andries is quite surprising. I wonder if his parents are Dutch citizens?

There are a lot of Brazilian and Portuguese immigrants in Massachusetts and I believe that is the case with those 2 childrens' parents. Cornelis' father at least is definitely Dutch descent (don't know about the mom because they did not list her maiden name) because they had a Dutch surname, but their first names were common Anglo-American names. I forget what they were.
