Ana da Silva (an email exchange)

Hi Ana

I just happened to be looking at the [library next door to the one I work in] staff list and saw your name. You're not this Ana da Silva are you? http://en.wikipedia.org.wiki/Ana_da_Silva (I'm a fan). Just curious!

Regards,
Ben

Hi Ben

I am afraid not - would be great though. Unfortunately it is a popular Portuguese name.
