Because my mother is English and I got her paternal lineage's name + if you look at the family tree I posted in the "Post Your Family Tree" thread, you'll see that my great grandfather was British(and Breton,) I also got his surname.
I mentioned in some other thread that I have a double barrelled name, made of both paternal lineages combined. My father's side is mostly Spanish, but with some English (and minor French) heritage thrown in.
EDIT:
I found it.

Yeah pretty much, the Portuguese line probably has some SSA input because they had been in Brazil for longer (although still recent), we are still looking at their records, no Amerindian as far as we know.
The British and Spanish are all born in Europe and acquired Brazilian citizenship, I'm essentially a 2nd gen Brazilian, but 1st gen actually born in Brazil.
I was taken to England when I was still a baby and remained here, only staying in Brazil for short periods of time to visit family members that stayed, and for business purposes, that's why I identify far more with my British side than my Iberian and Brazilian sides.

lmao yes, i wanted to write down numbers but off the top of my head:
george/georg, john/johann/es, william, thomas
maria/mary, anna, catherine/catharina, elizabeth,
john in its forms is easily 1/3rd of all male names, mary/maria is probably the same
just noticed that one particular branch of my 4 grandparents names (how i organized it) has names that are generally not in common with all other 3 branches. funny. some really british only names including, lawrence, percy, frances, eliza
most inexplicable name is "letitia", no i do not have an urban ancestor. i think it must have been a character in a play or story from that time.
