My parents named María in honor of the Virgin. My mom chose Cintia as my middle name because of the principal character of a soap opera whose name was Cindy. However, when I was born, it was not allow to use foreign names in the Register where I was registered so she named me Cintia. I go by my middle name Cintia because I'm from Argentina where almost all females are named María as a first name. Therefore, we all use our middle name rather than our first name.
