Hi WM,
I’m not really a Columbus, although I was born on “his dayâ€. That is, however, why I was baptized Martin:
I was named for a Spanish mariner, the captain of the Pinta. That ship happened to be on point the day they made landfall. Pinzόn, or his lookout, was the actual “Discoverer of Americaâ€.
My name was suggested by an obstetrical nurse whose family came from Palos de la Frontera. She saved me from going through life as Christopher.
Regards,
Marty
