Re: Magnolia Corvina Betancourt Jordan: seeking feedback on this name.
Yeah, I just meant that if I'm analyzing a character name, it's something I notice as a potentially suggestive word type association, especially since in an English context, I see why multiple surnames could come across as aristocratic (though less so if she's not using both).Betancourt actually reminds me of Barbancourt if anything. It's a rum (named after a surname) made in Haiti. So I get an ambiguous French/Spanish/Caribbean type vibe from it.

Well, she's got one grandparent from Cuba and another from the French territory of Guadeloupe, so in her case, the vibe you get isn't far off at all!
