re: My Granny is named Rose-Aimée
and my grand daughter is Beatrice Rose.. but some times i hear my son calling her Bea! I think she should be Beatrice Rose.. as a child I was Helen Mary.. except for my best friend grandmother who always insisted on Helen Mary Bernadette Patricia... now day i say "no middle name" and don't use any of them. i even changed my passport, since my first one, as a child, had me as Helen Mary.

My daughter is named Zoe. While growing up in Mexico, many people would ask her to repeat her name. Finally, she solved that problem by standing with one hand on her hip and pointing and shaking her finger saying Zeta-Oh-Eh, Zoe, whenever anyone asked her name. Now there are several young women in their early twenties with the name Zoe running around Mexico. I think we started something. My son's name is Nicolás. There was a character on TV in Cd. Juárez, a clown much like Bozo, whose name was Nico Lico. That was my son's nickname for years. We also called him Nicolás Emiliano Zapata, Emiliano being his legitimate middle name. He used to introduce himself that way when he was young. In his senior year of high school, he took to signing his name that way. He has gone by "Nic" for about 10 years now.

Xavierine - pronounced za-vyay-reene - as an example, has never had her name spelled correctly by anybody
So how is it spelled? Oh, I suppose you can't tell us though, can you?

Would polylingual be a better term, or is there a word that expresses five languages used? Did I miss any?
