CameronL Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I fell asleep with my eyes wide open watching the England vs Brazil football match last night, but I did notice that out of the Brazil squad, eight players had a single name ending in -o (Danilo, Beraldo etc). This habit seems to go back as far as I can remember Brazil in football (back to Rivellino and Jairzinho in the 60s). It made me wonder if users of this parish could adopt usernames ending in -o for a little bit of Brazilian cool. So, you could show your love of a particular one of the Big Four - Elemesso, Eleniaro, Essaro or GeeDubwaro. Or if your modelling preference was before 1923 you could be Pregroupinho, Emarro, Aycharo, or even Elbyesseearo. You could make reference to your scale of preference: Aycho, Scaylo or Gaijnarro. You could even salute your favourite engines: Paniero, Jinteo, Foremtio or Ayteffo. (Maybe fans of Class 37s or 08s might balk at Tractorro or Gronko). It just occurred to me that this is far from a new idea. In fact, Hornby did it in 1938 (Dublo), Best wishes all Cam (Brazilian name: Notymorcasho) 3 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back over a hundred or more years ago "-O" was a popular way to end a product's name; one that still exists is JELLO; although the original spelling may have been JELL-O. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another of their brand names was SOCONY: Standard Oil Company Of New York. The history of that company is fascinating; especially some of the things that Rockefeller did. Edited March 24 by J. S.
