[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! Would [name_m]Felipe[/name_m] be a completely strange name for a non-Hispanic boy growing up in the US? We are a bi-racial (Hungarian/English and African-American) family, no Latino roots but bilingual through studying and living/traveling abroad. Our kids are growing up bilingual with Spanish being our main language at home, and our kids having lots of exposure to Hispanic culture. I tend to LOVE Spanish, biblical names, but would be nervous to use ones that very much tied to Latin culture. Instead, we’ve used them as middle names for our children (Belén, [name_m]Rafael[/name_m], David). Would it be weird to meet a [name_m]Moises[/name_m], [name_m]Santiago[/name_m], [name_m]Felipe[/name_m] or [name_m]Joaquin[/name_m] that was not Latino? These are a few of my favorites!
No, I think it is fine! You could also use the [name_m]Philippe[/name_m] spelling, though I don’t think that would work as well in Spanish.
If Spanish is your main language at home this doesn’t seem strange at all. Otherwise it would be a little unusual.
I might find it a bit surprising, but I don’t think it’s unusable especially since Spanish is your main language at home. I know of a [name_m]Miguel[/name_m] with no Spanish / Latin roots who was named after someone and, while I thought it was a bit unusual at first, he wears it just fine. [name_m]Santiago[/name_m] is one of my favorites, too!
One of my best friends is named [name_m]Raoul[/name_m] and he has no Spanish decent at all. He wears it well! I think if you are connected to the culture and the language it’s fine! [name_m]Felipe[/name_m] is super handsome! I second the suggestion of [name_m]Philippe[/name_m] as a less obviously Hispanic choice.
Speaking as a Latino~
Honestly I think it’d be a kinda weird if you weren’t Hispanic, but if you and your children are really that immersed in Hispanic/Latin culture (just out of curiosity which one?) and speak Spanish as a main language I think it could work, though I’d go with [name_m]Philippe[/name_m] speaking instead. However I really only think this name and [name_m]Moises[/name_m] (again I would change the spelling to Moses) would work if you’re not Latino. Some more international/multicultural Spanish names or name used often in Latino circles that I think could work are~

Thank you so much for these replies. They are really helpful. 
I had never heard of the Philippe version. Something to consider!!
@leafygreens, what a great list! I love many of those- Jair, Julian, Matthias 
As for culture, before I would have said mainly coastal Colombian, as I’ve lived there. But these days, I find that we are developing more ties to Mexico. Could be due to proximity to the US, but also largely due to the growing, thriving homeschool community there. Yesterday, I was doing crafts with my kids and found myself saying “lamina” to them, when I used to use the word, “hoja.” I was like, wow, things are changing!
