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

   

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


  • Dave The Hat

    …and joining the exciting Bildo at the 2010 World Cup will be the much maligned Davildo. Some would call it a surprise selection, however the dynamic number 13 will be hoping to put a mediocre club season behind him.

    thats easy…

    Amandildo

    I really don’t think I want that emblazoned on a shirt.

  • Brett

    That thing said my name would be Walkinho, which I wasn’t that stoked about. Iwas hoping it would incorporate the C-with-tail letter into my name somehow. However, national hero + hot Brazilian women = they can call me whatever the hell they want.

  • http://brazil.worldcupblog.org/ Euler

    Mine would be Eulinho Carioca. The diminutive of my name and where do I come from. Carioca means ‘from the city of Rio’. But the Carioca would be used only if there were another Eulinho, as happened with the Ronaldinhos.

    Ronaldo was called Ronaldinho here in Brazil when he was younger. Ronaldinho became famous after, so people added the Gaucho to differ one from another.

    Ronaldo went to Europe, got bigger and people started to call him just Ronaldo.

    lol

    KECA

  • Louie

    LOUIACA??

    ahh.. ok i’ll take it..

  • http://sports.godblessthefreaks.org Philip

    Oh, that one’s easy. I was Felipão in my college Portuguese class long before anyone had heard of Luiz Felipe Scolari. Well, long before I had heard of him, at least.

    But if he gets to claim that one then I’ll start adding bizarre augmentative suffixes, like Felipãozarrão. *g*

  • http://portugal.worldcupblog.org Luis Paulo

    That is the worst name generator I ever saw. The names doesn’t even exists in Brazil.

  • http://ecuador.worldcupblog.org/ Trent

    Mine would have to be Mação.

    Portuguese speakers can tell me if that means Big Apple or not.

  • http://brazil.worldcupblog.org

    Well, that is surely a bad name generator.

    However, by testing I got a name which was pretty cool… “Fernandaldo”. I bet there’s a player with that name around here.

    Philip: don’t forget the *inho! You could be Philipinho.

  • http://brazil.worldcupblog.org

    Oh yeah, using the second name as being the state of origin is quite common as Euler said (hence Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Juninho Pernambucano, and many many others).

  • Drax

    Mine came out with: Moorma

    Rather disappointing due to the fact that it’s just my surname with 1 letter dropped.

  • Ryan

    I was hoping for Ryano Magnifico
    instead I got Mcfarlanisco
    I fi add my middle name I get Ryan Georgaldo lol

  • chumbawumba

    Brendisco.

    ????

    Better than dildo reference ;-)

  • Roland

    Easy: “Rolandinho”

  • LOKi01

    ‘Fra’

    that’s it?

    At least I can play up front with ‘Fred’

  • Luis Carlos

    I couldn’t acces the page, it seems it exceeded its bandwith quota, and got their account disabled, if you have the same problem or can enter the page, let me know. Thanks.

  • http://australia.worldcupblog.org Matt

  • christpher wyrosdick

    cool

  • sandrahn

    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).

  • Haugardo

    Suddenly I feel 100% Brazilian!
