Again with the name...

My name is Pablo Ignacio. It would sound quite weird for me to say it but IGNACIO is a very nice Spanish name. Not many people are named Ignacio, and therefore it sounds quite unique. So unique that I decided ever since I remember “deleting” my “Pabloness” and mainly naming myself Ignacio. Too many Pablos in elementary school, even more in High School; only ONE Ignacio: YO! J

The average nickname for IGNACIO is NACHO; like BOB to ROBERT. I was born, I was named Pablo Ignacio, but automatically became NACHO o NACHITO (when I was a kid). So people immediately know my name is IGNACIO. However, NACHO is a very informal nickname. I could never introduce myself as NACHO in a business meeting in any Spanish Speaking country. NACHO is only reserved for family and friends.

I never thought I was gonna move to Asia at some point of my life. I found out IGNACIO is quite difficult to pronounce around these latitudes, so NACHO became the name.

Get this; this is the ultimate sign of respect in a sort of informal way: I received a proposal from a vendor addressed to me…



So I guess I am Mr Nacho now. I find it quite funny!
