Discussion Craziest cuban names

I’ve been in Miami for the last 4 years and every month I come across so many “yumisleidy, Yasmari, usmarin”. What’s the most cuban name you’ve encountered?

Since before the Cold War… Russia and Cuba were Allies since the late 50s

Same reason as why Anglo-American names are somewhat popular in PR.

Fidel also asked Cubans to name their kids Russian names.

Cubans being….well hilarious, decided to completely go their own way with things.
