names in español... HELP!

LupeVallejo

My other half is Colombian, and we have decided on a spanish name to value the culture that the baby will probably not grow up in... We are not finding out if it's a boy or girl and if it's a girl we will name it after his grandmother, but if it's a boy... I'm screwed because I only have two names that I like!

Does anyone have more latino boy name suggestions?  I'm not a huge fan of SUPER popular names like Juan, Pedro, Carlos... you get the idea, and my husbands name is Alejandro, and I don't wan't an Alejandro Junior, in fear that we will call him AJ which I dislike.

The ones I like are: Rafael and Sebasti?n

Love Sebastian!!! But only pronounced like it is in Spanish, which DH would never go for cuz he's a guero.

My other favorite is Mateo. And of course we named DS Nicolas.

Some other ideas:

Armando, Angel, Salvador, Benicio, Cesar, Tomas, Eduardo, Emilio, Saul, Javier, Valentino, Mateo, Joaquin, Marcelo

Love both Rafael and Sebasti?n!

Does your husband dislike those names? They're both great.

If you're looking for more options, I like Emilio, Antonio, and Victor.

Another vote for Mateo

Gabriel, Guillermo, Diego (but the Nickelodeon character has probably ruined it for most people), Rodrigo, Emilio, Eduardo, Fernando (but again, probably ruined by the song), Javier, Rafael/Raphael, Julio, Jaime, Salvatore

I love how Guillermo rolls off the tongue. It just sounds so neat. (if it is Spanish, I think it is, but not 100% exactly sure).

Ooh...I love Rafael!  Sebastian is also a great name.  I have a few more to add- Julian, Edgar and Alfonso.

My DH is Latino - so we've gone round and round about the 'style' of name we would want for a child.

fwiw, his name is Enrique - but has gone by Henry his entire life (apparently english translation).  His mom some times calls him Ki-que (no idea how to spell... sounds like "key-keh"

I love your two picks!  

Another vote for Leonardo... I think Leo as a nn for a little boy is so cute!

Rafael and Sebastian are awesome names! I especially love Rafael; I've always thought it to be a very strong name with a wonderful sound.

Sebastian is awesome, my top favorites are: Diego, Julian, Joaquin (although this is a tough one in the U.S. to pronounce), and Dante. 

globetrotting7

oh... Gael, yeah, that's a hot name, makes you think of Gael Garcia Bernal.

My half-sister's half-sister's sons are Cosmos, Arturo and Armando. I especially like Armando.

I love Rafael and Sebasti?n.

Some of my other favourites:

Juli?n, Jaime, ?lvaro, Javier (I love Javi, I think it's adorable), Gonzalo (Gonza), Feliciano (this is pretty dated, though, but I still like it). I feel like my Spanish list is a lot longer but don't have it (the list) on me.
