  • What are some really nice and exotic Brazilian first or last names?

  • Answer:

    I'll try to be as NICE and as EXOTIC as I can with the least foreign influence I can think of. :-) Some are from women I know. Many are Brazilian indigenous names and are both common to Brazil and exotic to foreigners at the same time. Many typical Brazilian names came from Portugal, can't excape that. These are all women's names. Here goes: Alânia Araci Iracema Anauá Iraci Iaci Izaura Isolda Laís Luiza Elis Eloísa Janaína Jaci Jurema Juracy Jussara Jacobina Brisa Maria do Mar Mairi Maiara Moema Ortência Mariza Aparecida Perpétua Tieta Gabriela Tarcila Tainá Gal Gláucia Yara Vera Valéria Lucíola Fabíola Other girl names here: http://www.bebedeproveta.net/meninas.htm _____ See these websites for a big sample of last names: http://www.saudades.org/Sobrenomes_luso_brasil.htm http://www.brasileitalia.info/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4925 These are some that came from Portugal and Itally. There are tons of last names in Brazil that came from other countries. Cheers!

If you live in the US and are considering a Brazilian name for your child, you need to keep in mind that you will have to spell it phonetically in English if you have any hope that it will ever be pronounced as intended. Languages are not exactly parallel to one another. For instance, I have a Brazilian given name, which starts with the letter "R." However, the sound represented by this particular "R,"in the English language would be represented by the letter "H." (as in the word "house") Now, I always loved my given name. However, I hate with passion, my name miss pronounced as if it started with a rolled "r" sound. _Think about it, if I tell folks my name, they spell it incorrectly. If I write it down, in a chart, they pronounce it incorrectly. In recent years I opted to use an Americanized nick name rather than dealing with this problem anymore. However, I still have to use my legal name in places such as doctor's offices. And sometimes nurses call out their interpretations of my name several times, causing everybody on the waiting room to start to look around, before I realize that they have been calling me. Needless to say, that walk across the waiting room is one of my least favorite things. --- And to complicate things, my name contains 3 distictive vowel sounds. The trouble is that there isn't one single vowel sound in Portuguese that even exists in the English language. Therefore, phonetic spellings for Brazilian Portuguse in English are only an approximations. So, as much as I love Brazilian names, I chose to American names for my four sons. I simply could not condemn them to a life long struggle with their giving names. -- Now, here are a couple of Brazilian first names that I happen to love. I will list them as spelled in Portuguese, then I will break them down, syllable by syllable, to give the readers an idea of how to pronounce them: _ Janaina _ Ja = Jah (as in Tza Zah Gabour) na = Nah i = EE <& this is the stress syllable> na = Nah ______________________________________... Madalena_ Ma = ma da = dah le = "L" + the sound of "A" in "lay" na = nah --------------------------------------... Carolina CA = as in "California" ro = this is a slightly rolled "r" in this case as in "row" li = lee <<the stress syllable) na = Nah --------------------------------------... Taiz TA = "ta" in "taco" IZ = "ease" <<stressed syllable***
