*I have a family of cousins where several of the girls have compound names: Maria Soledade, Maria Celeste, Maria Fatima, Maria Isabel, etc. In the Azores and among family they are usually known by their middle names. When they immigrate to the US, they are invariably known by Maria by non-Portuguese friends. That can be a problem if they live in the same community and usually requires an explanation to the non-Portuguese friends. * *John Vasconcelos*
