I was named after my great-grandfather, whose name was "Carlos" too.
It was my dad's idea, and my mom agreed with him.
I was named João Víctor after a soap opera character played by Tony Ramos. The original João Victor had a twin brother called Joaquim, so older people here will probably remember "João Víctor e Quinzinho".
Go figure.
So, my name's Rodrigo and I don't have idea why my parents choose that. I like my name, but everywhere I go has another Rodrigo. In my college room had 5, that's right FIVE. Buy the way, some these Rodrigos say, at the time were born (80's) there was a Rodrigo on TV novels.

see you all.

PS. I've named my son of Matheus, and there is so many kids with this name everywhere he goes! I think my family does'nt know to choose names.... :)
Well, my fellows, my name is Rafael because of some interesting facts about my conception...
During the conception period my mother had a bad message from the doctor, who said that I would born sick, with mental illness and that statement made her suffer a lot. Due to her faith in God, she dreamed that she was seeing a paper where was written the name Rafael, in red words, and underlined.

Then arrived the time of my birth and I came healthy. After this happening, she looked for the meaning of the name Rafael and, for her own surprise, it means "healed for God". She thought that God healed me in her venter, thus, nothing more fair than name me that name.

There were plenty of niceties to tell, however, I made an huge effort in order to explain why I am named Rafael.

See you, folks!
Well, my name is Leonardo. My mother said to me that she chose this name because she liked so much the singer Leonardo of Leandro & Leonardo.

I was named my name because my dad wanted his son to have to same name he has, so my name is basically my father's name plus "Filho" in the end of it. I personally don't like my first name and people usually call me using my mid-name "Ernando" which I like. I think I might wanna change my name in the future in order to have a smaller name adding my mother's surname in replacement for one of my father's surnames and excluding "Filho" and my first name. But actually I think the process might be complicated, so I don't know for sure whether I'll do it.
My parents gave me name Wesley because of the movie "Blade" with actor Wesley Snipe. That seems funny, but i liked the choice!
