Hey! My brothers name is Narciso . . . I love it! I think its very unique. For a very long time my brother was very upset because of his rather unusual name. Soooo many times people would pronounce his name wrong such as: Narcisco, Narisso, & Narisco. Our grandfather was also Narciso (our father name him after his father, of course!) but we didn't understand where the name came from . . . Narciso means the same as Narcissus (flower & greek mythology of the vain man) but as I continued to do my family tree I found that the first "Iglesias" in Mexico Juan Bautista (originally from Spain abt. 1790 & my 5th grandfather) had four sons: Narciso, Juan, Francisco & Nazario. The name just continues to go down the tree . . .

Aren't you glad to not be named Reducindo or Reducinda?  One of my
ancestors is named Narciso, another Prudencio, another Petronilo, and
another Zenobio...what names!!!!  Marge:)

There is nothing wrong with these names. Our ancestors apparently felt these names were much better and different than the custom plate names.

I agree, John.  That's a beautiful name.  I might be biased, though, for my great grandfather's name was Aurelio.

Have you noticed that Aurelio is one of the few names that contains all of the vowels?  (a,e,i,o,u).  Another such name is Eulalio.
