I've been living in Guatemala for 10 years and my son (2.5) has the standard two names and two apellidos. To the dismay of many older people, we have ALWAYS called him Juanito. I decided on this firmly while he was in the womb because I don't like the sound of Juan Pedro and Juan by itself isn't socially acceptable in this country for some reason.

Anyway, he started going to a preschool and thinks he's learned his full name: Juanito (Apellido). It's adorable. If you tell him what it is, he literally does not believe you. I'm wondering though if I'm the only parent who's failed to teach her toddler his full name. All the kids I've met so far introduce themselves with their entire name, but they're usually a little older.
