Talk:Tony Oliva

From BR Bullpen

I don't get the born as "Antonio Oliva Lopez Hernandes Javique" bit. His brother was Juan Carlos Oliva Lopez, so shouldn't Tony simply be Antonio Oliva Lopez? Why the other two last names? - --Mischa 12:45, 22 July 2010 (EDT)

This seems to explain it. -Chisoxfan 04:27, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

I think, formally, in some parts of the Latin world you receive your father's last name, your mother's last name, and your two maternal grandfathers' names. That's a ton for listeners to remember, and in the Anglo world it's dropped. - Randy 14:09, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
