The story of Enrrique
Spanish writes rr only between two vowels; at the start of a word, and after l, n or s, a single r is already trilled, so Enrique is said with a full rolled r and needs no second letter. Enrrique writes that trill out by ear. The name's most tragic bearer was the composer Enrique Granados, whose opera Goyescas had just premiered in New York in 1916; on the way home his ship, the Sussex, was torpedoed in the English Channel, and he drowned after leaving a lifeboat to try to save his wife.
