Have you met Juliana?

I have discovered that approximately 40% of the women in Medellin are named Juliana. Fascinating, and true.

Elmo, Do you know any women named Usnavy or guys named Usarmy?

My cachaca wife told me that there are more than a few Costeños with those names, especially Usnavy. She used to work for the biggest staffing company in Colombia and saw literally thousands of resumes every year and would occasionally run across those names. It was always with Costeños.

My sister has a beautiful daughter named JULIANA.

How about MARIA! every woman has a Maria, as a first name or middle name. Not as common for the new generation, but you still heard it. In Mexico every woman you meet is called Maria.

Feliz Navidad!
