Help[Facts] Re: Gema and Flor
in reply to a message by overtheclouds
Both names are used, even though Gema is very rare - only 5 women registered as such between 1920 and 1980 (probably because it coincides with the word for "egg yolk" - but in the earilier 20th century almost all women had Maria as their first name, so there could be a couple more called "Maria Gema").
Flor is becoming popular again, and it is often used in a double name like Ana Flor or Maria Flor.
Here is the list of all baby names registered in 2011: http://www.4shared.com/office/FZJVJRpP/Lista_oficial_de_nomes_mais_us.html
(Keep in mind that many of those names were used in cases where at least one of the parents is a foreigner and so they wouldn't be allowed for an average Portuguese child.)
~ isla, sophie, embla, zephyra, vida, clementine, swanhilda, calliope, magnhild, salomé ~
~ rémi, archer, louis, aurelian, pollux, lucan, storm, henry, nicodemus, maximilian ~
