Carole,
Patxi(Euskera)=Paco(short for Francisco)
Francisco is also Paquito, Curro, Currito, Fran, etc....
Spanish names....Now THAT is an interesting subject!!!
Want some examples?:
Lola, Lolita or Dolores=PAINS
Remedios=REMEDIES
Milagros=MIRACLES
Inma or Inmaculada=IMMACULATE
Concha, Conchita or Concepción=CONCEPTION
etc, etc....(these are very common names!)
My name means Dove, one of my sister's name is Rocio=DEW. I think that if I was an English speaking person I'd find this quite amusing. (Sorry if this has been a thread in the past)
