Help! (Spanish Boy Names)

Boy Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! I’m looking for more Spanish boy names to add to my list. It’s been hard because SO dislikes almost all the names I like. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any suggestions? I would like names that are not overused ([name_m]Carlos[/name_m], [name_m]Jos[/name_m]é etc), but still relatively common.

Names I like, that SO hates:
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u], [name_m]Arturo[/name_m], [name_m]Diego[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Javier[/name_m], [name_u]Ori[/name_u]ón, [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] and so on…

The only names we agree on are [name_m]Manuel[/name_m] (#1), [name_m]Santiago[/name_m] ([name_m]Thiago[/name_m]) and [name_f]El[/name_f]ías. The names don’t necessarily need to be Spanish, but they need to at least work in Spanish/English.

Looking forward to your responses!

There are so many great Spanish/bilingual boys names to chose from! My favorites would be [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and [name_m]Mateo[/name_m]. I like your picks of [name_m]Manuel[/name_m], [name_m]Thiago[/name_m], and [name_u]Elias[/name_u], too.

You might consider looking at the top 100 names for [name_u]California[/name_u], since there are some good bilingual Spanish/English names on it:
Popular Baby Names I’m not sure that’s linking directly to [name_u]California[/name_u]–you might have to go to the drop-down menu on the left.

I taught in a Dominican school, and I always thought [name_m]Fernando[/name_m] was such a sweet boy’s name. Also loved [name_u]Jean[/name_u] [name_m]Carlos[/name_m]. [name_m]Santiago[/name_m] is a great name too!

[name_m]Fernando[/name_m] is a great name! Unfortunately, SO doesn’t agree :frowning:

@oiseau: I’m adding [name_m]Felipe[/name_m] and [name_m]Leandro[/name_m] to the list, thank you!

@isabellemarie: I love [name_m]Valentin[/name_m] and [name_m]Pablo[/name_m]! I also like [name_m]Maximo[/name_m], but it’s already my nephew’s name.

[name_m]Javier[/name_m] and [name_m]Andres[/name_m] are my favorites.

My favorite Spanish boy names are [name_f]Lu[/name_f]ís, [name_u]Cruz[/name_u] (2nd fav. overall boy name), [name_m]Eduardo[/name_m], [name_m]Octavio[/name_m]/[name_m]Tavio[/name_m] (for nn [name_m]Tav[/name_m]), and [name_m]Emilio[/name_m].

Good luck! I hope I helped.
