Hi, my name is Enric Blasco, but friends call me Kyke. My nickname in internet is very similar (kyke01) because kyke is always used by another person.
I’m from Catalonia and here commons names are Joan,Jordi, Montse, etc..
My family name is fairly common, there are 3390 Blasco’s in Barcelona province only, and i believe it’s means raven. It comes from Aragón.
In Spain some family names means professions too like Zapatero, Panadero, and so on.
I don’t know if any names from other countries is popular here, maybe Jonathan is a very popular name between newborn children’s.
Most of the time when we meet someone, we introduce ourselves using the first name and we speak to them as they introduce themselves.
We use surname without a title(Mrs, Mr) with celebrity people, for example: "la Pantoja", "la Campanario" etc.
In Spanish there’s a lot of pet names that show affection too like: “cariño”, “amor”, “cielo”

Bye!!
eblasco
