According to ElsaElza Soares Wikipedia entry, her first husband was named Lourdes Antônio Soares.
Can 'Lourdes' be a boy's name in Brazil? Is this information rightcorrect?
Since Elsa took her husbands name 'Soares', I assume 'Soares' is here correctly given as her husbandshusband's last name. More masculine would sound to
To me "Antônio Lourdes", which would sound more masculine, in the same way as 'José María'Maria' is a masculine name.
