Your son can choose between the family names Escritorio, Oficina, Sección

These all mean Byro i.e German Büro, bureau/office in Spanish ;-)

>> In the 90's I read an article in the NY Times about a man named Martin
>> who wanted a promotion in the South Carolina civil service.  Although
>> he was qualified for the job, he was told that the position was being
>> reserved for Hispanics.  He then had his name legally changed from
>> Martin to Martinez and he got the job.

>> My younger son has a friend in school named Gonzales.  He is a native
>> of Madrid and he just got a scholarship open to Hispanics only. I am
>> considering urging my son to change his name to Gonzales and thus to
>> join the winning side.
