    Comment from his granddaughter Gloria Potier Harrison (Thank you!)
    Indeed, my grandfather Oscar was Oscar Gorge Potier, because his British grandmother' family name was George. But my father's middle name was never George. The family called him jorginho as a joke, sometimes they calle him gigi!
