As this is a common last name in Brazil, I've always found it weird as a forename. It doesn't help that it's got the recent negative association with a certain corrupt Brazilian-American politician who lied about being the grandson of Holocaust survivors and even described himself as "Jew-ish".

I loathe this name, only for old men not for children.

I think this name sounds exotic. It seems, like, instantly Mexican. Although that might just be because it's my boyfriend's name.
