Why was it forbidden?

It was a law that saids that no ne could name a baby with a foreign name that has translation to Spanish. For example you were allowed to name a baby Kevin, that has no Spanish translation, but not "John", that means "Juan" in our language. "Vanessa" is written in the English way, but "Vanesa" is the Spanish way of the name, and there's nothing bad abut it, since you prnunces it exactle the same way. The only objection I have to made is that almost no one writes it right and adds the "s" that the Civil register took off!

Vanesa.

Vanesa.

Now that is interesting. Wow!


And I'll admit, I generally have to take an extra 's' off when writing your name, Vanesa! BUT, that said, I think it's much prettier with just one 's'.

Since i come from Mexico i am Use to Writing Vanesa with just one s

Hi, Jacob!:

Yes; in Spanish it's written with a single "s".

Vanesa.
