Good Reason for a Nick Name!

Funny post over at Ecce Ego, Quia Vocasti Me. Here is part of it.

The conversation gradually drifted into the subject of names, but somehow he didn't like talking about it.

Me: 'What's wrong? Don't you like your name?'

Him: 'I do. I have enough saints in my name that they're probably fighting in heaven as to who should be my patron.'

Me: 'But don't you think it's good to have many patrons?'

Him:
'Sometimes I think I'd rather have just a few'.

Me: 'So just what the heck is your whole name?'

Him:
'Jose Miguel Alessandro Sebastian Carlo Maria de Aranzazu Felipe Francisco Javier Alfonso Martin Ignacio del Santisima Trinidad, Alzogaray y Acuna.'

Me: 'Oh.'

His nickname: Zazu, after the Virgin of Aranzazu.
