Didn't know about that. Fulano de Tal I forgot about; Berengano I never
heard. The surname "de Tal" gives a nice touch. Diminutives are OK
too ("Fulanito de Tal").

Bad joke: two guys pass by a large factory with a notice in big letters,
and one of them comments: "Hey, look how big is the Pérez & Fernández
factory"; and the other says: "Oh yes! That must be why there are so
many of them!".
