Any ideas? Which way do I go?

I am having a very difficult time finding a baby boy first and middle name that I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]! Im am also at a crossroads with which direction I would like to take.

On one hand I would like to have a name that honors my father- his name was Lusbin [name_m]Danilo[/name_m]. I’m thinking either find a name that is similar to either his first or MN (but nothing like [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], too common) or simply use [name_m]Danilo[/name_m] as the middle name?

On the other hand, I’m not sure if I should just choose a completely new name? I’m also trying to be thoughtful of my family and my husband’s, by trying to think of names that are easy to pronounce in both English and Spanish. But I seem to have no luck. Selfishly speaking, I’m okay with just choosing a name that both my husband and I love without it being easily/properly pronounced in Spanish. As I’m sure a nickname can be used? What are your thoughts?

Some names I have come across that I have come across and have liked:
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
Adelino (in honor Of my father- [name_m]Danilo[/name_m]. Thoughts?)
[name_m]Ozias[/name_m]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] (contender for a middle name)
[name_m]Jasiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxton[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] or just [name_m]Maxton[/name_m] and a different middle name?
Riker
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]

I am open to ANY and ALL ideas! Middle names for any of the names mentioned. [name_m]New[/name_m] names. First names and names I’ve mentioned as middle names.

Thank you all in advance!!

I suppose it depends on how close you are to the Spanish part of your family. If you don’t see them often and you’re certain your child is going to grow up in an English speaking environment, then I think it’s perfectly acceptable to choose a name that both you and your husband love. However, if you see your Spanish speaking family frequently and there’s a possibility your child might grow up in a multi-lingual environment, then I understand why you would be apprehensive. In this situation, I think you should really evaluate the pros and the cons. [name_m]Will[/name_m] it annoy you if they refuse to learn to say the name as best they can, or if they pronounce it in such a way that isn’t necessarily correct? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you feel close enough to you (or your husband’s) Spanish heritage to honour it in your child’s name? In what environment will your kid primarily grow up in?

Onward with the names: My personal favourites are [name_m]Jett[/name_m], Adelino, and [name_m]Jasiel[/name_m]. The rest aren’t bad, but I don’t have any solid thoughts on them personally. My only hang up about the J names is that I know the hard J sound as in [name_m]Jack[/name_m] doesn’t translate well in Spanish, so that might become an issue if you decide you want a name that’s easy for both sides of the family. Adelino is a lovely name, but other than sharing a few letters, they’re not that similar. If you can see the connection, that’s what matters though.

It’s not a lot, but hope it helps!
