> Did you know that in Portugal, people typically have four names (e.g., JoÃ£o Pedro Silva Teixeira). However, the first two names are mandatory (e.g., JoÃ£o Teixeira) and must be chosen from a list of 4000 female names and 4000 male names. The last two can be whatever you like.

Sorry for being unclear! I meant the above 👆🏽

Nonetheless, it’s cool to know that nicknames are a common thing for the Portuguese too

Nicknames are also very common in Portugal, and some people are only known by their nicknames. I'm not sure if this is the type of name you're referring to, but I can't say for sure which ones are the most common. However, I can tell you that nicknames are usually based on something that happened to the person, or sometimes on their physical appearance. As a general rule, we only use nicknames if we know the person well.
