So DH has given up on pushing for [name]Ignacio[/name] is this baby is a boy. He does want us to consider Agustín, though. I like Agustín more than [name]Ignacio[/name], and am already hoping to use it for a middle name if DH will agree to Félix. But I am open to going with Agustín if DH won’t agree.
So, I need some middle name ideas for Agustín. I like Agustín [name]Ulises[/name], but I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about middle name options yet. Any suggestions? We definitely want it to be a Spanish name.
We have similar taste, I used to have [name]Emmanuel[/name] [name]Augustin[/name] and [name]Ulysse[/name] [name]Augustin[/name] as combos!
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Antonio[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Marcel[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Rudolpho[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Alonso[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Elias[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Eusebio[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Emilio[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Ferdinand[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Isidro[/name] (I know an [name]Isidro[/name] and love the name)
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Mauricio[/name] (I know a [name]Mauricio[/name] nn [name]Reese[/name])
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Rafael[/name]
Agusin [name]Reynaldo[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Solomon[/name] (I think the “een” and “on”)
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Agustin[/name] [name]Clemente[/name]
What about [name]Agustin[/name] [name]Elias[/name]? [name]Elias[/name] is my favorite Spanish boys’ name. I don’t know that it has Spanish origins, but it’s very usable in Spanish culture, I think.
Thanks for these ideas - I haven’t considered most of the these names because we were always looking for first names that don’t have an “r” in them (pronunciation issues). But I am open to an “r” in the middle name. I have to run right now, but I’ll be back later today to comment.
Agustín [name]Federico[/name]
Agustín [name]Felipe[/name]
Agustín [name]Ignacio[/name]
Agustín Oscar
Probably [name]Felipe[/name] sounds best because our last name ends in -o, so not repeating that ending with the middle would be nice. I really like [name]Federico[/name], though, on its own. Any thoughts on these four options?
I think [name]Agustin[/name] [name]Oscar[/name] repeat too many sounds, so would strike that. Otherwise, I think a 2-syllable name fits best (like your second son’s [name]Tomas[/name]). Did he/you care for any of the shorter options, like [name]Miguel[/name], [name]Carlos[/name] or [name]Hector[/name]?
Saying [name]Federico[/name] Moreno, [name]Felipe[/name] Moreno and [name]Ignacio[/name] Moreno quickly is a little bit of a tongue-twister. But if you love one of them, it’s fine-- no one really says all three together very often.
I think you’re right - [name]Oscar[/name] doesn’t flow well. I don’t think [name]Felipe[/name] is a tongue-twister all together, but I agree that [name]Federico[/name] and [name]Ignacio[/name] may be moreso. I do like [name]Cruz[/name], [name]Fidel[/name], and Andrés that are shorter, but DH didn’t like them. (Andrés is his middle name and he doesn’t like the idea of naming a kid after him, even if it wouldn’t necessarily be for that purpose.) He has relatives named [name]Carlos[/name] and [name]Hector[/name], and we don’t want to repeat family names, so those are out. And Jorge is out because my little sister is named Jorunn and we’ve been calling her Jorge for years, ever since our family moved to the border of Mexico. I like Noé, but it’s too close to Lucía’s middle name.
Ok, 1-2 syllable Spanish middle names, preferentially avoiding the letter R:
[name]Cesar[/name]
[name]David[/name]
Dimas
[name]Efrain[/name]
[name]Felix[/name] (I know it’s your other male name choice, but it works very well)
[name]Hernan[/name]
[name]Ivan[/name]
[name]Jesus[/name]
[name]Leon[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Luis[/name]
[name]Manuel[/name]
[name]Ramon[/name]
[name]Roldan[/name]
[name]Santos[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name]
[name]Victor[/name]
[name]Vidal[/name]
I was going to suggest [name]Agustin[/name] [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Agustin[/name] [name]Raul[/name]!
[name]Victor[/name], [name]Jose[/name], [name]Rafael[/name] also came to mind.
Thanks, guys. I think we’re just going to go with Agustín Félix as our other boy name option. I like the sound of Agustín [name]Felipe[/name] and Agustín [name]Raul[/name], but I just can’t not choose Félix. This is our last baby (woo hoo!) so I’d rather use the names I really like.
Though, I’m still hoping DH will agree to Félix as the first name. I love that it’s spelled the same in both languages and doesn’t get mixed up with a girl name ([name]Augustine[/name]). I think it’s just easier to have Félix first. I’m proposing that we do Félix Agustín, but actually use both names together frequently, so his name isn’t “just” Félix. But I think I would be okay with Agustín Félix, too. Thanks again!
I don’t know that it has Spanish origins, but it’s very usable in Spanish culture, I think.
