    his mother’s name is (Southern) Italian. Never heard a Portuguese woman with such name.

      There’s plenty of Portuguese people named Filomena. And the name is originally Greek, not Italian, and is found in many more countries.

        wow, thank so much but I am still not convinced. Even though Portuguese Filomenas do exist, it’s not the most common female Portuguese name.
        Actually a lot of names, in any language, have Greek roots.

        • madman says:

          It’s still a Portuguese name anyway. So because it’s unusual it’s likely he has another ancestry too? That’s not valid reasoning. Everyone doesn’t have a common name.
          Besides, it’s her middle name (although it appears it’s the name she goes by).
          Filomena and Louis Lima —> Maria Filomena and Louis M. Lima
          I assume his paternal grandfather was also called Luis Lima, since his father has Jr. in his name.

            Just curious, where did you get his middle name from, Harold Wilson Lima?

          • madman says:

            Hmmm… I don’t remember exactly, but I’m fairy sure it was from that link that’s now dead. I remember that’s where I got his parents’ names from, and that they were Portuguese. His middle name starts with W., and since his parents’ name were correct, I would guess the middle name is too.
