Spanish boys name Part 2
I posted yesterday. My partner is Spanish and we live in the UK. We want our baby boy to have a Spanish name which will be okay here. My brother-in-law is also Spanish and he and my sister named their son Luis - I want to do something similar - a name that is obviously spanish but won't cause our baby problems at school and in adulthood in England.The favourites from my shortlist seem to be Alejandro, Gabriel, Nicolas and Sebastian. I have been thinking and I think that Alejandro may be mispronounced, however I do like it, so that will be his middle name. So his name will be either:Gabriel Alejandro, Nicolas Alejandro or Sebastian AlejandroWhich do you like best?Eleanor

All 3 are wonderful. I especially love Sebastian and Gabriel, though I slightly prefer Sebastian. GL!

I really don't care for the name Sebastian at all. I do like Gabriel Alejandro and Nicolas Alejandro though. Nicolas Alejandro seems easier to say than Gabriel Alejandro.

Alejandro is really nice, and most people will be able to catch on to the pronunciation. I think Alejandro Gabriel would be really nice.I really dislike Nicolas and Sebastian.Array

Nicolas Alejandro seems to be the best, Gabriel Alejandro has 2nd place. Nice choices, because they sound familiar in both Spanish and English speaking countries.

I don't think any of those combos flow, but if I had to choose one, it'd be Gabriel Alejandro.

Use Alejandro - it is not hard to pronouce and only the ignorant will do so. So, yes, I like Alejandro.I like Alejandro Gabriel.

Gabriel Alejandro or Nicolas AlejandroGabriel Alejandro and Nicolas Alejandro seem pretty good. Sebastien is too associated with TV (the little mermaid) for me to like it on boys.
