good thinking. I do love the name Rafael, it sounds so much better than Ted.

I do believe "Barry" is a nick name and not a given name like Rafael? no?

Sorry but Jeb is out of answers. And out of pocket. All questions have been rerouted to Trump.

Part black, part white, raised in Hawaii and Indonesia, with family of different religious and spiritual backgrounds—seen by others in ways he didn't see himself—the young Barry was looking for solid ground. At Occidental, he was feeling as if he was at a "dead end,"."

The name Barack tied him more firmly to his black African father, who had left him and his white mother at a young age and later returned home to Kenya.

I don't know, you figure it out. He had a hard time figuring out his identity too.

I was born Robert.....most call me Bob.Most people have nicknames....why does anyone care?Its not like with the last name of Cruz people would think he was Irish,[at least on his dads side].Trumps grandfather changed his last name from Drumpf to Trump.My great-great-great grandpa changed his last name from Schenk to Sink.

President Grover Cleveland's real first name was Stephen.


A lot of people are not aware we had a president named Stephen.


Rafael is a nice name. Sounds to me like a hunky Latin pool boy at a resort who comes over asks if I would like another Margarita. Too bad Rafael Cruz does crazy things like share the stage with vicious neo-Nazi "religious" leaders who calls for the execution of all lesbian and gay Americans.
