Re: Portuguese university students list
in reply to a message by Catalina
They are either not on the list of accepted names, or they have been rejected. Anastasia and Camille don't show up and both Alejandro and Sophia are marked as 'not accepted'. I actually know the Sophia Camille in question and her mother is English - something similar may be the case with the people you know.
Or they may have been born in another country, given names usual in that country and the parents petitioned to have those names accepted here.
You can check said list here: http://www.irn.mj.pt/sections/irn/a_registral/registos-centrais/docs-da-nacionalidade/vocabulos-admitidos-e/downloadFile/file/Lista_de_nomes30-09-2012.pdf, if you weren't already familiar with it.
