yes. and i think a lot of us can find at least one acestor from either
galicia or asturias,
along with one from the canaries or the south of spain.
but coming to the names. i was looking down the list out of curiosity and
see that only a handful
of those names seem to be in use at this time, at least by people born after
the revolution.
at least, as far as i know from personal experience: rodrigo, liuva and
teudis.
