Baby Names

Help please! Marco, Matteo, or neither??

We're looking for a strong Spanish name that is easy to pronounce in English too... Which do you all like better?

Thank you SO much for your feedback :)

 

Re: Help please! Marco, Matteo, or neither??

  • I really like Matteo.
  • Loading the player...
  • They're both great. I think I have a slight preference for Matteo.
  • Jessica,

    we are almost exactly due at the same time. Do you know what you're having? And do you have a name yet?

    :)

  • I like both, but have a preference for Matteo being spelled as Mateo.
  • Thanks for the feedback! I have been torn between Mateo and Matteo for a long time... Since it's a spanish name choice for us, Mateo would be the spelling, but our last name has a double syllable, so it sort of looks cool...

    Thank you!

     

  • When I hear Marco and Matteo, I think Italian. I worked with an Italian immigrant, and those were his boys' names.

  • Thanks for the feedback! Yes Marco and Matteo are also very common in Italy. Which works well for us, since my husband is Argentinian with 1/4 Italian (lots of Immigration to Argentina from Italy) :)

  • We're having a little girl...we can't decide on a name...we were thinking Kinsley Ann or Riley Ann and now my DH isn't sure he likes Kinsley anymore...he's so picky it drives me crazy!

  • Awe.. a little girl... how sweet. I really like Kinsley AND Riley. Kinsley, I've never heard before-so that's pretty cool. Riley, I've heard before and really like. Tough choice! :) Good luck! IF we were having a girl, the name would be Milana Elena. too bad a boy's name is so hard for us!!! :)

  • I like both, but if it makes a difference, Marco sounds more Spanish to me, and Matteo sounds more Italian.

  • We're so excited for her to get here. I'm getting to the point where I'm tired of being pregnant. Love Milana that's a beautiful name!! Boys names are so hard my DH wanted to name the baby Declan if it was a boy. It's hard to pick the name a person is going to have their whole life. 
  • I agree, it's the hardest thing in the world to give someone a name they'll take with them, and will shape them, for the rest of thier life. talk about pressure! :) I like Declan too! Good luck to you! I am getting tired of being pregnant too... I miss taking deep breaths, and sleeping comfortably :)

    Best of luck to you and your family!!

  • I think Matteo is great!
