Hi,

I actually have ancestors from Greece (On my mom’s father’s side.. However I didn’t know my great- great- great Grandpa’s name) But I do know he brought over 2 sons and a daughter before heading back with one of the sons. I am a great- great Grandaughter of the son who stayed behind. I know I have family in Matamoros, Mexico. My Great- Great Aunt (the daughter that stayed behind) opened a Pharmacy in Corpus Christi, Tx which is where me and my siblings were born. My family still live in Corpus Christi to this day. I have proof such as my birth certificate, Texas state ID, etc. to prove I am a Bochas. you can email me at bochaskeisha@yahoo.com if you would like to talk.

Thank you,

Are we talking about a comic hero? Or the hero of a book?
I can suggest you names Milon, or Miron, which are ancient Greek names. They are not as popular names as others, but they have their significance in ancient Greek mythology and history. If you can be a little more specific on what kind of hero we are talking about, I can also give you some more ideas.

Does anyone know anything about the surname Kontsoumides (or variant spellings of that)?

On another note, my Dutch parents had no idea that there can be a few versions of the same personal name in Greek, and they called me Yiannis, just because they had a Greek friend of their’s who had this name, so there is a precedent…

Yet, I can give some examples of male Greeks who bear official demotike names – Yiannoulis Fakinos (a football player), Yiannis Ritsos (a poet), Yiannoulis Halepas (a sculptor), or am I mistaken?
Is there a trend of giving the newly-born dimotiki names to avoid mess, or the Greeks still strongly stick to the tradition?

Normally they are not used and the original forms of the names are always preferrable: Ioannis for Giannis, Georgios for Giorgos, Emmanouil for Manolis, Nikolaos for Nikos, etc.

I wonder if demotike names, such as Giannis, Giorgos or Kostas can be used in official papers…
