Even though I already know that, according to Wikipedia, Carlos and Carla rank as the 3rd most popular names in many Spanish-speaking countries, I still don’t understand why many people outside Italy call me Carlos. I’m Italian and Carlo is my name: please, use it to refer to me. :) Carlo (and Karl, Carl, Charles and so on) means “free man” but you are not free to call me Carlos, not at all! :)

Hehe, many Spanish speaking folks tend to call me Andrea instead of Andreas. Guess, we all have some problems with our names ;-)
You are right and probably, in an international context, you name creates another problem: if a Spanish speaker calls you “Andrea”, an English speaker could think that you are a woman. :)
Hey! I just wanted to say what a great site this is, I came across your site while searching around on Google. Your post, o hard to remember? :) at temporaneità has some good info! Thanks again, keep up the good work and have a great Sunday!
Chris: you are welcome… this frozen Sunday is mostly over. :)
Yes, I agree with you Carlo. Carlos is too close to ‘callous’ for comfort.
