Spanish Boy Names

PacoCat33

Hello! My DH and I are expecting a baby boy in December. We are stumped on a boys name...my DH is Spanish and Mexican, so we'd like to have a Spanish/Hispanic name that has an English nickname. We are thinking maybe Alejandro "Alex" but would love to hear any other thoughts you may have! TIA!

Alejandro and Mateo are my favorites. It doesn't have an American NN but I LOVE Diego.

I also really love Marco, Joaquin, Javier and Dante (though that is probably more Italian)

This doesn't quite fit what you're asking, but I dated a guy named Jairo once. He was a wonderful guy and I loved his name.  He had a brother named Alvaro, which I also think is a great name. (and has Al as a NN)
