^^YES!

actually, no, not really--back in high school we got to pick our "spanish name" for class, if you were gonna pick now, what would your spanish name be?

The closest my high school spanish teacher could think of to "Ian" was "Ivan"

Unfortunately, the Spanish pronounciation of Ivan is more or less "Yvonne"

I did not find this as hillarious as did my classmates over the course of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS I had to use that name in class

hahahahah. obviously didn't get to far in spanish did you? "Sería" is a future conditional form of the verb "ser."

My name was Slavelle (rhymes with Latrell) but everyone calls me Slave so in Spanish class I was Esclavo.

Had a nice ring to it.

marco

boy was it a stretch

10/3/2007 5:27:47 PM

^^ people call you slave?

like.. now?

10/3/2007 5:28:45 PM

mine was isabel...i thought it sounded like my middle name

10/3/2007 5:29:22 PM

Well my name was Slavelle up till I was 16 when I changed it.

But all my friends and everyone I knew just called me Slave.

I changed it because I want to go into business and wanted less of a stereotypical black name for my future prospects.

But most people still call me Slave.

Its cool most of the time, but white people always hesitate to call me that even after I tell them its OK lol.

10/3/2007 5:31:36 PM

that's kind of cruel for black parents to name their child slavelle

10/3/2007 5:32:18 PM

Better than Anfernee.

10/3/2007 5:33:35 PM

well i'll be damned

10/3/2007 5:34:01 PM

haha i love that line in Mean Girls about the name Anfernee

i just thought about it, but james in spanish is actually diego--i think jaime is a false cognate

10/3/2007 5:55:32 PM

one year I was Diego but I think my professora told me it meant 'Jim'

oh well, I always preferred Perfecto Suave

Jorge was always an uncomfortable name to say in spanish.

I had picked Venus, pronounced bay-noose.

10/3/2007 7:17:00 PM

I picked Diana... pronounced deeana

10/3/2007 7:18:45 PM

i think i recall if our spanish teacher didnt know a spanish equivalent for a girl's name, she'd always just call them "Catalina"

10/3/2007 7:19:45 PM

my name in spanish 1 back in 1990 was El Diablo and my friend Jim was Satanás
