Out of Sheer Curiosity...

In One Hundred Years Of Solitude, the main family obviously shares the last name of Buendia. Does it seem to anyone else that the name could represent something? Buen in Spanish is a word meaning good, and dia is the word for day. To me it seems that with each passing generation the Buendias stray further from the "Golden Age" of the lawless utopia that Jose Arcadio Buendia had initially created. Jose Arcadio shames his family by marrying his adopted sister, Aureliano becomes tyrannical, Amaranta's callousness causes the death of Pietro Crespi, her sons ALL have children out of wedlock, and in the midst of it all the country is being terrorized by war. As the bloodline is carried on the novel strays further and further away from the "good days" in early Macondo. Thoughts? Comments?
