I posted this on the other gen site also. But i definitely want the Gente peeps to see it Smile

Its a very strange name i recently encountered....

I believe it reads "Clodesvinto"

Weird? Has anyone ever seen this name before ?

thanks,
Mauro

Hi Ann,

It looks like Clodesvinto is an Italianized version of the German name Ludwig. I really hope this guy had a nickname Razz

IN other news... Happy 200th post for me!!!!! party
