HelpRe: A fun discovery

Yeah, it's quite possible she just didn't like it.
I guess I'm reading into it because the family seemed to have made a deliberate effort to drift away from their Hispanic roots in other ways, and it makes me sad. My boyfriend didn't even know his dad could speak Spanish until he was like 12! He and his brother can hardly understand their grandparents and extended family which is a bummer; his dad could have taught him Spanish, but made the choice not to. I saw this name change as another example of that, I suppose. :/
