Latin/Hispanic boy names

kegallagh · April 2009

My husband is 1/2 Cuban and we'd like to incorporate some of his heritage into our future baby's name, either first or mn. However, we're not really looking to go with a very traditional Hispanic name like Juan or Ricardo.

Some names we've thought of that kind of fit what we're looking for are Mateo, Marco...

Ideas? Thanks!!

I really like Mateo. I also like Paolo, but I think that may not be hispanic? I have a friend named Quique (pronounced kee-kay) and I know that is a nn for something but I can't remember what.

It's a nn for Enrique, which is my FIL's mn. I actually think it's a mn for all the men in that family. Cute nn though!

I really like Marco and Mateo.

I also like jorge, most people call him george, instead of jorge. I also really like Miguel, Alejandro, Joaquin, & Manuel.

I really like Mateo. If we have another boy he will be named Joaquin.

We're going with Antonio after DH's father. They are Italian but Antonio is Latin too. I just don't want it to turn into Tony so I have to make sure he is called by his full name.
