Modern Mexican

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], berries!

I’m Mexican and have grown up hearing the same names over and over, Mexicans (and other Latinos) like to pass down names/name after family members which results in a lot of common Spanish names being used. If you have any good modern or fresh sounding Spanish names send them my way. Thanks!

I don’t know what names are common in Mexico right now, but some of the names I’ve seen occasionally on Latina girls in the US that I thought were pretty that might be refreshing to you are [name_f]Nayeli[/name_f], [name_f]Yara[/name_f], and [name_f]Xiomara[/name_f]. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps :slight_smile:

Estrella, [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], Mayte, [name_m]Arturo[/name_m], [name_m]Leonel[/name_m], [name_m]Tadeo[/name_m]?

Not sure if these Spanish names are fresh in Mexico, but they definitely are in the US.

Paloma
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Carlota[/name_f]
[name_f]Ximena[/name_f]
[name_f]Yalitza[/name_f] (I don’t believe it’s Spanish, but the actress is popular)
[name_f]Lupita[/name_f] (yet again, popular actress)

Santiago
[name_m]Alejandro[/name_m]
[name_m]Luis[/name_m]

These are some names of young people I have heard in [name_u]California[/name_u] in the last few years!
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Araceli[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_u]Sierra[/name_u]
[name_f]Ariadna[/name_f]
[name_f]Valeria[/name_f]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafael[/name_m]
[name_m]Santiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Salvador[/name_m]

I’m not sure how common some of these names are, but I hope some will work

[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Luz[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Isamar[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Consuelo[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatriz[/name_f]
[name_f]Violeta[/name_f]
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f]

I know a mom with a [name_f]Sabella[/name_f]! which I thought was much more refreshing than [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]

Perhaps these may be too common for you, but I found this list of the most popular names in Mexico in 2013.

Thank you guys! [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is beautiful, it’s popular but I don’t hear it very often in real life. I LOVE [name_f]Ariadna[/name_f]!! [name_m]Ty[/name_m] @choupette I’ve found a couple I like from this list!
