it’s a boy (but you knew that)
Congratulations to proud papa Erwin Schrott, whose 7 pound, 13 ounce boy TBA Tiago Aura Arua Schrott was born today in Vienna. La Cieca extends her best wishes as well to Anna Netrebko, though she hopes the couple will not allow any cigar smoking in the presence of The Schrott Tot. (“Tiago,” La Cieca is informed, is a Portuguese form of the name “Santiago.)
And so, until January and the return of “la taille fine!”

brooklynpunk- the schools of London are full of Aislings and Roisins and Ronans and Calums without a shred of Irish blood in their veins.
A name’s a name. I think we’ll accept that parents can call their kids what they like.
A Portuguese pop singer called her daughter “India”, so….
brooklynpunk.manon.pizza.yes.
Well, according to Schrott he has some German ancestry but he’s mostly Spanish and Portuguese. That would explain Tiago.
In the AP article I just read it says his daughter’s name is Iara. I looked that up and it is a Tupi/Guarani name.
He’s from Uruguay where the Guarani live/lived. Maybe he’s studied their history, who knows? I like the name.
Mea Culpa–(and I’m not a native latin-speaker…)..SORRY..just sounded ..ODD at first reading…
I don’t know for sure, but I think the saint is in there somewhere: Santiago from Santo Iago or Saint James.
I should have learned to keep my BIG YAP shut about the name..after a I live in a Country where people name their kids Track…and Trig…and after a fish-cannery…Bristol..
after that, ANYTHING is ok……
The name is odd, at least the middle name. It certainly isn’t very common.
Tiago Aura Schrott sounds like something you’d need a shot of penicillin to get rid of.
My niece is no better – she plans to name her boy (in December) Ka-naÊ»i Koelsch.
Whatever happened to John for a boy and Mary for a girl?
MYB: bring on the penicillin, sweetheart… I know what you have to DO to GET “Tiago Aura Schrott”
