If I were to start all over again in a Spanish-speaking country, I’d probably choose Buendía as my family name.
#my entries#hello I sent a new batch of invitations today#and realized how much I love the name Buendía#which then made me think about how the Latin ‘d’ became ‘z’ in Romanian#die (lat.) > zi (ro.)#dicere (lat.) > zicere (ro.)#decem (lat.) > zece (ro.)#day — to say — ten#afaik we’re the only Romance language whose “to say” doesn’t start with the letter ‘d’#but make no mistake its origin is still very much Latin 😌#and then I thought about the headcanons licic and I have been exchanging recently#and realized that Francis is only one prefix away from becoming a Harry Potter character#imagine Arthur calling Francis “Malfoy” instead of Bonnefoy when he’s being overly pessimistic#(even to his standards)#aren’t the French generally considered pessimistic?#maybe naming him Bonnefoy was Hima’s way of sending Francis off with a good omen#he knew what he’d be up against
