1. My first name is DESIRE (male version of Desiree).When I show my drivers licence, people think it's Desire as in "Wanting pleasure".

 

2. Rico is short for Henrico. Apparently in Spanish, "Rico" mean Rich & Delicious :)

I have 3 names + Surname (It's a Mauritian thing...). Yeah, my Mum is from Mars - Now you're confused...didn't take much did it? Hey just kidding :)
