If you played for Brazil, what would your name be?

June 22nd, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

I’ve alway thought that one of the reasons Brazil holds such allure around the world is the one-named wonders that dot their roster each game. While everyone in the world (or at least those of you who read this site) simply know me as Bob, I must admit to having a bit of name envy. Alas, there is a website that has come to the rescue. Simply type in your name and it will tell you what name you would have if you played for Brazil. Henceforth I shall be known as Bildo! What is your Brazil name?

Hat tip to the Brat boys for the find

Well, I’m Brazilian and a female. But if I were male and on the Brazil team, my name would be the male version of Sandra (which is a popular name in Brazil): Sandro.

That’s assuming of course that I hadn’t collected some other nickname from when I was quite young. Which is likely, given that several of the Brazil player names you’re all familiar with (Kaka, Cafu, Cicinho, Pele, etc.) were all nicknames they earned when they were kids, and given to them by children. Kaka’s name, for example, comes from the fact that his little baby nephew could never say his real name correctly and called his young uncle “kaka.” (His real name is Ricardo).

Given that fact, my name would probably be Sandrinho, since to this day many in my family call me Sandrinha (and I passed the age of being called “little Sandra” long ago).
