Dear Giovanni,
     Excellent! Obviously the Brazilians have a great sense of humour when it comes to naming their children. When working in Hong Kong I came across some odd given names, but they were not trying to be humourous. They were attempting to sound more English. Some of the names I remember: Claridge (after the famous hotel Claridges), Harrod (from Harrods store), Winchester, and the best one....Selfridge.
 
Dear Joey,
     I heard a similar version of the 'pipeline' joke over 40 years ago, and have never heard it again since. Thanks for reminding me of it! In my version the name was Sarah Pippelina, and the headline ran: "Sahara Pipeline Laid by 1,000 Men in 5 Months."
