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.
