On my paternal side all first born male descendants have the same middle name. It is one of the past presidents.

A European in a socialized Europe, well after the wars for me to have a peaceful life, well into the global market for me to get cheap ass products... yeah, I was fortunate to be born here.

My ancestors were nobodies from some villages in the North of Portugal... I'm a city boy... also a nobody, I guess.

I wish, but sadly no. It's a last name.
