In Spain and Latin America people often use more than one ( first name ) , such as José Luis or María Eugenia ; and both their father's and their mother's ( surname ) , for example , Spanish poet and playwright , and , Colombian novelist .
If you are calling someone by their surname you start with for a man and for a woman ( often shorten in writing to and ) .
Some very common first names have a familiar form , so don't be confused if you hear instead of Francisco , instead of Dolores or instead of José .
