[Opinions] Tiago
Tiago is pronounced tee-A-goo (or chee-A-goo if you are Brazilian, but I prefer the former). The -goo part is sounded lightly, not like the English "goo". You can listen to it here: http://www.forvo.com/word/tiago/#pt It's a Portuguese form of James, and is surprising popular in France at the minute. WDYT of it?Edited to add Forvo link.

It's on my PNL and I like it a lot. It's handsome but youthful and kind of mischievous. I first came across the name when I started watching UFC a few years ago.
I like both pronunciations (Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese).

It makes me think of a cat. I'm not sure why but thats just what I think of. It's not my style.

That's funny because I was thinking of calling my new kitten it.

I know a Brazilian Tiago. Although the pronounce it tee-AH-go or chee-AH-go (not goo) and I love the name. I also think his brothers names are awesome: Caio and Matteo. But I think Tiago is my favourite of the three.

Oh, Tiago, Caio and Matteo are so handsome.The pronunciation isn't really like the English "goo". It's more of a lighter sound. I didn't know how to describe it properly.
