OBSERVATIONS

The names Maria and Ana (both feminine) are very popular combined with a second name. For example, there are many girls called Maria Francisca, Maria Inês, Maria Teresa, Ana Luiza, Ana Margarida, Ana Rita, etc. For boys, names João and José are also very used with a second name. The name Maria can be used for boys as a second name (José Maria, João Maria, Francisco Maria, António Maria...). In Portugal, traditional names like Catarina, Joana, Mariana, Pedro, António or Gonçalo are very popular. Less historical names were gradually absorved and became also very common, like Cátia, Sandra, Marisa, Fábio, Bruno, Ruben. In Brazil, however, are used evrey type of names of many different origins. Medieval names like Sancho, Brites, Mendo, Mecia or Sancha have now almost disappeard.
