Nintendo game(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Bros.) in the background of my life...but more significantly (personally) is the image of some very attractive Mexicans who followed our Spanish Club back to the states in high school. I can't say for sure that one of them was named Mario, but the name provided the image, nonetheless, in my mind, of one very handsome guy whose photo is part of our yearbook from that time (ha, I just looked at it this past weekend...don't ask...okay....it was homecoming weekend--for a brief explanation)...anyway...he very likely could have been named Mario...it works for me!! Masculine or feminine...who cares?!? I don't think the name would lower his self-esteem nor MY opinion of him!! Ha!!<BR/><BR/>Now that I think of it, there was a kid named Mario in a summer camp where I was a counselor..what a cutie...without a doubt he grew up to be a handsome young man...hahaha...what's in a name? It's all about character and a good sense of self....oh yeah...and good looks too (*wink wink*)!!!Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335976822110599015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-22294403386853009822007-10-14T15:09:00.000-07:002007-10-14T15:09:00.000-07:00Just a few thoughts from someone who has absolutel...Just a few thoughts from someone who has absolutely NO idea what she is talking about.<BR/><BR/>Ancient Romans may have name boys Mario after the god of war, Mars. <BR/><BR/>And of course, after about 300AD, it was common to name children after Christian saints, the Mary beginning one of the more popular.<BR/><BR/>In Latin speaking countries, it is common for children to get part of their mothers’ name as well as part of their fathers’.<BR/><BR/>As for boys worried about having a name derived from a female name, guys named Carroll must have a nervous fit every day! <BR/><BR/>I’m going to sleep now -- I have to wake up about 3:30 AM ;)Purple Tabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383565717518107613noreply@blogger.com
