I used my real name, and the initial is my surname. No deep meaning, really. I just really like my name, especially when someone mispronounces it and we start up a conversation :D

A saw once a Christian video that was attacking evolution theory. They brought up the caterpillar and butterfly. He said, this doesn't take millions of years to evolve in different specie..but rather 2 weeks or so.. It was a good point i must say XD. From a thing that has no wins or body shape ..but some fat worm..to a thin creature with wings.

I'm Mexican, with Spanish background; so it's a bit of a harkening back to the days of Islam in Spain

Brother what i always wondered about is, (1) do the descendants of the Maya's, Inca's and Aztecs still have somehow their original language? Or has it been completely wiped out by Spanish?

I am only aware of Santa Muerte as a adoption from their ancestral religion. (2) Or are there also other kind of "cultural"-habits that can be associated with their ancestors?
 
Hahah the people I see here from all over the world are as if I am seeing a library :). Reading a piece of text by somebody is one thing but asking somebody from a the background it self is priceless..."support hotline" ;D

Indeed, many languages of the pre-Columbian indigenous people still exist! Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs is still spoken by 1.7 million people as their first language; The Mayan languages collectively have about 6 million speakers, and Quechua, the language of the Inca is spoken by 8.9 million. Other smaller languages also still exist in Latin America like Mapuche and Guarani. I speak a bit of Nahuatl myself, but not much.

As for other behaviors, well, much of our culture has significant influence by the pre-Columbian peoples. The foods we eat are heavily influenced by Native traditions, as well as things like our traditional clothing and textiles. Things like Dia de Muertos/Day of the Dead have roots in the religion of the Aztecs.
