The craziness of names isnt limited to English only...

...and the background to quetzcoatl is that it is a canadian expat couple living in Mexico.. they probably wanted to give the baby a name that represented the fact that they met and fell in love in with each other in Mexico. idk.

So name her Maria! LOL Seriously, Quetzalcoatl is one seriously ridiculous name.

Im ok with it bc Im of the philosophy that as long as the kid gets a decent first name perhaps the middle name can be something more creative or one of our guilty pleasure names as I think they're called here in this comm.

That's a good point and I do agree with you. I just still have to feel sorry for a girl named Quetzalcoatl, even if it is a middle name!
