CAMPO YUMAR, Luis Ramón  e  RABELO FRESNO, Evelyn Linet. Motivational Classification of First Names Based in the Structure-Reference Relation. Anu. let. lingüíst. filol. [online]. 2021, vol.9, n.1, pp.75-104.  Epub 29-Nov-2021. ISSN 2448-8224.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.adel.2021.1.00283.

Among the multiple lines of research that have as their object the name of a person, one of the least studied is the one related to the motivations present in the selection of the first name. Certain factors influencing data collection and the inability to know the true reasons for the choice from the most accessible sources complicate these studies. In the present work, the interview and the questionnaire are explored, within the multiple sources, as fundamental ways to obtain data on the motivations and references used. As a result of previous research and the considerations raised in this article, a motivational classification of first names based on the structure - referent relationship is proposed. This classification was applied to a small corpus of names, obtaining favorable results.
