You made me laugh dear Tom!
Dear Joey, since you mentioned Gina Lollobrigida you recall me the following, which is not a joke, I read that when I was living in Brazil. In that Country you can hear such incredible personal names, I myself know people named Donizetti (given name, not family name!), Wellington, even Walt Disney, all given names! Well, once there was a reportage on a magazine about this. There was some really funny examples. One of them was a girl which family name was Dos Santos, a common one. His father was a fan of Gina Lollobrigida and Ava Gardner, so the full name of the girl was Ava Gina Dos Santos, which spoken sounds as “A vagina dos santos”, literally from Portuguese “The vagina of the Saints”!
