Names from Brazil

General Name Discussion

I haven’t seen this before, being a Brazilian myself, I thought it would be fun to give you a taste of the most popular names in [name]Brazil[/name]. These lists are 100% accurate because not all the births were taken in consideration, but it’s pretty accurate.
Also, in [name]Brazil[/name] we don’t have middle names, but we do have two names name, like [name]Jo[/name]”o [name]Pedro[/name] or [name]Ana[/name] [name]Maria[/name]. So [name]Jo[/name]”o, [name]Carlos[/name], [name]Lu[/name]”s, [name]Maria[/name] and [name]Ana[/name] are very common, but they can come solo or with a second name. Some common names are [name]Jo[/name]”o [name]Pedro[/name], [name]Maria[/name] [name]Clara[/name], [name]Ana[/name] [name]Lu[/name]”sa, [name]Lu[/name]”s [name]Eduardo[/name], [name]Carlos[/name] [name]Eduardo[/name].

Thanks for the list! [name]How[/name] is [name]Jo[/name]”o pronounced?

3

Great list, nice to see [name]Vitoria[/name], [name]Leticia[/name], and [name]Beatriz[/name] on there. [name]Gustavo[/name] is quite nice, though I wouldn’t use it.

4

I believe its HAH-OO, or something along the lines of that. Think of the “ao” in [name]Paola[/name].

ALSO: [name]Nara[/name], I love your name, its very nice. Forgot to add that, sorry.

You’re welcome.
It’s hard to explain how to say [name]Jo[/name]”o, because of the nasal sound we get from the ~, but it would be something like Zs + wuh + ow.
You can hear it here http://forvo.com/word/jo”o
The [name]JO[/name] is like [name]JEAN[/name] "in French but with an “O” sound instead of "ah, and the ”o should be something like ow in gown.
[name]Hope[/name] it helped. I love this name.

Actually our J is different from any other. Spanish, English, [name]German[/name].
And thanks! My mom is a good baby namer.

6

[name]Rafael[/name] seems to be a perennial favourite! My son is names [name]Raphael[/name], and I’ve never met another one here in [name]England[/name].

7

[name]How[/name] come [name]Henrique[/name] is not on the list? It’s growing on popularity, and can be used solo or as a second name (like [name]Luiz[/name] [name]Henrique[/name] or [name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Henrique[/name]).

8

Good question. Maybe it’s because the list shows the Top 30 girls and boys combines. And [name]Henrique[/name] is not near close to pass the [name]Jo[/name]”os,Gabrieis, [name]Lucas[/name] and Pedros.

I only know one [name]Henrique[/name] and a [name]Pedro[/name] [name]Henrique[/name]. [name]Henrique[/name] is one of my surnames, btw.

Are you Brazilian?
