My favorite Colombian name is Aicardo. Every time I see it I think it's just Ricardo misinterpreted because somebody wrote a sloppy R (by hand)

You may be correct but I don't think so. Or maybe there is a small window of time like the edit function. Check it out.

On MYpage if you mark as funny or helpful the word funny or helpful is replaced with an X. Going back later on the X reduces the funny or helpful count by one and replaces the X with the word funny or helpful again.???

I was googling some of the paisa last names and "Botero" is not at all usual in Spain, most people with that surname live in the area of Barcelona. "Uribe" is a little more common, but still fairly unusual. "Restrepo" is virtually unknown on the Iberian peninsula, it's from the Canary Islands. "Jaramillo" is also most often found in the Canary Islands.

I love my wife's middle name, Zeomara, but I don't believe it is exclusively Colombian.

Ok, I think you're struggling to say "Italian".
Yes, I think Bossio is an Italian last name. is that your Mum's last name? She who ran away with a bus driver?

"She who ran away with a bus driver?"

With Pow Wow? CG, you're right, for a first name, Jairo is about as Colombian as they come. Never actually met a jhon, but always see that name in the newspaper in Cali, usually associated with some crime story. Many of the Paisa last names don't come from Spain proper, but rather from the Basque country.
