Wow, Joao. You win the prize with that example.
I would have to be very careful to consider her as the same person as Francisca when she used Maria. I wonder if it's a question of the priest making an error. I have seen many times when as a grandmother, the priest listed the wrong first name in the baptism of a grandchild.
Anyway, nice to hear from you. Hope you are doing well.

Until XIX Century, this name alternance was very usual. I have an ancestress in Brazil (XVIII Century), that was called Francisca Maria de Jesus, Francisca Silveira da Rosa, Francisca da Rosa Silveira, Maria Francisca de Jesus, Francisco Antonia de Jesus and Francisca Antonia da Luz. Usually, first name doesn't change.
