Romance Languages drinking night (1 of 3): Hispanic name games...

So, the other week I got really hammered at the (student) bar with some Romance Languages people I know.

One of them is this (gay) (Mexican-American) guy I've met a few times, and when I met him again, I couldn't remember his name right away.

"I know your name is something with a 'juh'," I said, trying to bring his name to mind.

"That's right," he was like.  "The most common Spanish name."

"Jorge!", I was like.

"No," he was like, "The other most common name."

"Okay..." I was like, "Maria!".

Fortunately, he found that funny.
