Re: Childrens Names
Yes the same as the wine lodge ...Yatt-ez. Dare I ask what veleros means?
Oh I forgot, my son's name is Ben, just Ben, not Benjamin or Benedict, and I have explained that to the villaggers...they still refer to him as Ben-yameen (although some people in the UK call him Benjamin as well)..

My parents said they named me so my name couldn't be shortened, here they just change it.

I guessed that the name must be YATES as in wine lodge and not the velero word.
A yate in Spanish does not have to be a sailboat, it is used for a luxury vessel, like the Royal Yacht Brittania (same as English), verlero does mean a sailboat.

And benjamina for a girl.
el mayor = oldest.
el/la benjamin/a = the youngest.

Re: Childrens Names
in those days (pre-CRB check days) all the mums would be a 'volunteer' on a rota basis to keep the adult/child ratio right
one day when it was my turn to volunteer I noticed that the staff called him James all the time............his mum only ever called him James when he was naughty so he thought he was a very naughty boy indeed
sadly, his mum had neglected to inform the staff that he was known as Jamie at home..........even more sadly, when I mentioned this to the staff & the asked her about it she insisted that they continue to call him James - after all he was a big boy now
he was 3........................
