Naming dilemma!

I’ve decided to start over and trying to find some fresh ideas. Thanks!

I’m wondering if you have thought of choosing a name from his side of the family for this baby as your daughter has an honour name from your family? I’m sure you have but sometimes we just get on one track. I think each of our children should have their own name, but that’s me.

Have you considered [name_m]Isandro[/name_m] or [name_m]Nicandro[/name_m]? They aren’t quite [name_m]Alejandro[/name_m], but it they still have the -andro ending. This way, it could still honor [name_m]Alejandro[/name_m], but not be too similar to [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]'s middle, [name_f]Alejandra[/name_f].

There is also [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m], but that is Italian, not Spanish.

From your list, my favorites are [name_m]Javiero[/name_m] and [name_m]Maximo[/name_m]. (I don’t think [name_m]Javiero[/name_m] is too similar to [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].)

Some combos (using your names and my suggestions):
[name_m]Isandro[/name_m] [name_m]Kingston[/name_m]
[name_m]Manolo[/name_m] [name_m]Nicandro[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximo[/name_m] [name_m]Jorge[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximiliano[/name_m] [name_m]Kingston[/name_m]
[name_m]Javiero[/name_m] [name_m]Kingston[/name_m]/[name_m]Kingston[/name_m] [name_m]Javiero[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximo[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander/name_m

Hopefully this helps! Good luck!

For your list I really love [name_m]Alexandro[/name_m]! I don’t think it sounds too made it up, I find it quite unique! It gives you a close enough similarity, and the nickname [name_u]Alex[/name_u] means its a direct name to who you want him named after! [name_u]Alex[/name_u] [name_m]Jr[/name_m] as a nickname or even just [name_m]Junior[/name_m] as a nickname is adorable :slight_smile:

What about [name_m]Tomas[/name_m]?

Thanks to all of you for your opinions and suggestions! I think maybe we just need some fresh ideas… does anyone have any suggestions not from our list?

Some of my favorite Spanish boys names are [name_m]Julio[/name_m], [name_m]Diego[/name_m], [name_m]Ivan[/name_m], and [name_m]Javier[/name_m]. [name_m]Alejandro[/name_m] is gorgeous, and my own son is [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (nn Bash) so I certainly love it as well. Are there any honor names from your side that would translate nicely to Spanish? By the way, I think it is totally fine to use [name_m]Alejandro[/name_m] as a first name for your son. It is common in Latin [name_u]America[/name_u] to use the same middle name for multiple children, and sometimes even the same first and middle with a different second middle. So, it’s definitely not weird.
