[Facts] Goan Catholics are Konkani people. They speak the Konkani language, which already exists as a usage. (m)
I see that the Goan Catholics have names like Bosteanv and Foransik:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goan_Catholics#Names_and_surnames (in English)Are these names specific/limited to Goan Catholics? Meaning: those names are not used by other Konkani peoples?If not, then I don't think that they will need a separate category. All Goan Catholic names can then simply be listed under "Konkani".But if yes, then I would certainly welcome the introduction of a usage along the lines of "Konkani (Goan Catholic)".

Cool! I would do that! Should I fix the names we added with the usage "Goan Catholic"?
