I knew two women named Marialos and Eydrith (Ay-dree, essentially. You barely pronounce the -th). I always thought they were both beautiful

24

cool list honeymoonchild, and cool name handle too!

25

Thanks. [name]Little[/name] [name]Red[/name] Riding Hood was my favorite story as a child. So your’s is pretty cool too.

I know the list is pretty long. I just wanted to put all the different types of names I’ve heard. Most people think everyone in Mexico is named something like [name]Maria[/name] or [name]Lupe[/name]. When in reality those names are considered to be outdated. There are tons of people with unique names. Or names that are in English and just pronounced differently.

26

[name]Love[/name] your long list, Honeymoonchild!

27

[name]Maricela[/name]
Panfila
Marimar
[name]Clarisa[/name]
[name]Esmeralda[/name]

[name]Andres[/name]
[name]Sergio[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Felipe[/name]

28

[name]Madina[/name] is cute, [name]Susan[/name]!

Okay, it’s time for another Cool Hispanic Name List. This time, I’m going to pick Outhip the Hipsters types of names plus even nerdier names and see what their Hispanic equivalents are. These lists are time-consuming so I will not do them all at once. For every name I put on the list, I have to look up three or four that don’t work out.
If you like the lists, keep checking back because I will be adding to them over the next few days. Also you can give me nerdy name ideas for the list. Often Northern European names do not usually translate into Spanish, unfortunately. But sometimes they do. It’s surprinsing. We usually need to focus on names that have Latin or Greek roots in order to discover amazing Hispanic names.

Girls:
[name]Agnes[/name] ~ [name]Ynez[/name]
[name]Elvira[/name] ~ [name]Alvira[/name]
[name]Nadine[/name] ~ I’m guessing in Spanish it’s [name]Nadena[/name]
[name]Yolanda[/name] ~ [name]Iola[/name]

Boys:
[name]Alvin[/name] ~ [name]Aluino[/name]
[name]Girard[/name] ~ [name]Gerardo[/name]
[name]Herman[/name] ~ [name]Armando[/name]
[name]Maurice[/name] ~ [name]Richo[/name]
[name]Roderick[/name] ~ [name]Rodrigo[/name]
[name]Paul[/name] ~ [name]Raul[/name]
[name]Walter[/name] ~ [name]Gutierre[/name]

I looked up Gomez on “Check Out a Name”. I can’t find it. What is its equivalent in English - does anyone know?

31

Here are some:

[name]Clara[/name] ~[name]Clarita[/name]
[name]Amanda[/name] ~[name]Amadea[/name]
[name]Laura[/name] ~[name]Laurentia[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name] ~[name]Ginia[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] ~[name]Silveria[/name]
[name]Regina[/name] ~[name]Reina[/name]
[name]Claudia[/name] ~[name]Claudina[/name]
[name]Frances[/name] ~[name]Francisca[/name]
[name]Hillary[/name] ~[name]Ilaria[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name] ~[name]Livia[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] ~[name]Liliela[/name]
[name]Hope[/name] ~[name]Esperanza[/name]

32

Okay well these are from my previous list:

[name]Scarlett[/name] ~ Skarolet
[name]Rain[/name] ~ Lluvia
[name]Deborah[/name] ~ [name]Devora[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] ~ Wendoline
[name]Diana[/name] ~ [name]Dayana[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] ~ [name]Lilia[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name] ~ [name]Idalia[/name]
[name]Ana[/name] ~ [name]Anahi[/name]
[name]Kennedy[/name] ~ Kenidis
[name]Jeanette[/name] ~ [name]Janeth[/name]
[name]Julie[/name] ~ Yuli
[name]Margaret[/name] ~ Magaly
[name]Brianna[/name] ~ [name]Brianda[/name]

I really like Magaly. It’s my younger cousin’s name. So I can’t use it.

33

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Susan[/name],
I don’t know if you’ve already encountered this but according to ancestry.com: “Spanish (G”mez): from a medieval personal name, probably of Visigothic origin, from guma ”man”.” I haven’t heard it used as a first name but I assume it’s around. Are you familiar with the usage of Spanish surnames as first names? I don’t know how common it is or whether the frequency has changed much over time (like the recent upswing we’ve had in surnames from the UK as first names).

More names:
[name]Rosario[/name]
[name]Valencia[/name]

34

I’ve also found the name Gomez to mean “man”. It reminds of the Addams family, think it’s cool. Great collection of names.

35

We could have a Hispanic Place Name List:

Girls:
[name]Alhambra[/name]
[name]Baja[/name]
Madrid - this would be a cute middle name.
Merida
[name]Valencia[/name]
[name]Vera[/name] - Veracruz

Boys:
[name]Cruz[/name] - Veracruz
[name]Indio[/name]
Jalisco
Monterey
[name]Quito[/name]
[name]Taos[/name]

36

What about Hispanic heroes?

Boys:
[name]Cesar[/name] ([name]Chavez[/name])
[name]Che[/name]
[name]Emiliano[/name] (Zapata)
Junipero
[name]Marco[/name]
[name]Pancho[/name] ([name]Villa[/name])

We need some girl heroes! Can anyone think of some?

37

I will do a last name list. [name]Feel[/name] free to add to it! Thanks, I will put [name]Rosario[/name] and [name]Valencia[/name] on other lists.

38
