I have seen a few. My ancestor was baptised Bernardina and upon Quaresma, her name was changed to Claudina. It drove me nuts until I found her baptism, where priest stated on margin she changed her name to Claudina. I have seen perhaps three or four. Marianna and Maria Anna sometimes causes confusion.
