Roger,

Thanks for the list (above).

Perhaps I'm missing something here, possibly being side-tracked by the
carnival connection.  You call the names in the right-hand column "local
names."  Are you saying these are the names those people are known and called
by locally *all the time*, or are those specially made-up names for use during
the carnival season?

Are there any set rules for making up such names?

Regards,

Ron van 't Haneke van 't Virtueellaagland
