We are expecting our 6th child, a baby boy in 2017 and have a list of names we love already. Which ones are better for a Spanish-American baby? We live in Spain but husband and his family are all American.
Our list:
[name_m]Lazaro[/name_m]
[name_m]Evo[/name_m]
[name_m]Inigo[/name_m]
[name_u]Gael[/name_u]
Carmo
Xoan (probably not fitting at all, right?)
[name_m]Pedro[/name_m] (too safe, I think)
[name_m]Francisco[/name_m] (too safe, I also)
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m] ([name_m]Ah[/name_m]-belle)
Congrats! Here are my opinions of each of your names as an American
[name_m]Lazaro[/name_m] - I like this one!
[name_m]Evo[/name_m] - This is ok, lot of Evas and Avas in the US though
[name_m]Inigo[/name_m] - I like this ok
[name_u]Gael[/name_u] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like this one, sorry
Carmo - Reminds me of caramel
Xoan (probably not fitting at all, right?) - Yes, a little out there
[name_m]Pedro[/name_m] (too safe, I think) - very traditional hispanic name (to American ears)
[name_m]Francisco[/name_m] (too safe, I also) - very traditional hispanic name (to American ears)
[name_m]Leon[/name_m] - This is my favorite of your list!
[name_m]Abel[/name_m] ([name_m]Ah[/name_m]-belle) - this would be pronounced A-bel (with the long A sound) in the US
I really like [name_m]Inigo[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m] and [name_m]Abel[/name_m] and I absolutely love [name_m]Francisco[/name_m], it’s one of my favourite names!
