Just two interesting names I came across while at my grandparents' today.
The first was a 60-something-year-old lady on TV named Bonança (prn. boo-NUN-sah, with a nasal 'nun'), which means calm or quietude but is practically only ever used in a popular saying that translates to 'after the storm comes the calm'.
The second was a man in his fifties in a magazine named Agnelo (prn. ag-NEH-loo), which I assume to be some male variant of
Agnes.
I had never heard either of these names. Thoughts?
