Please be honest on our twins names
It's been exhausting and I still waver on Matias at times, but Dh loves it so much that I find it hard to say no.BTW Dh is Chilean I am actually Portuguese, and I'm sad none of my boys have any Portuguese names. (Isabel Olivia honours both). So I've decided to use Tiago (James in English) in honour of my heritage. It's the only Portuguese name I like and Dh actually loves it, so it works.Here they are:Christian Tiago (or maybe Cristian Tiago, I just can't make up my mind)ANDMatias AlejandroSiblings Isabel Olivia and Nicolas Joaquin.Wdyt? For those who like/love Matias, please help me to love it more. I want to make Dh happy. I picked out Isabel and Cristian and he picked out Nicolas and I would really like him to pick out the other boys names (as long as I like it too of course).Thanks so much. :)

Beautiful :)I really love your choices.For the spelling dilemma i say go with Cristian, because of the fact you like Matias rather than Mathias and because you spell your other sons name Nicolas rather than Nicholas. It would be odd to suddenly throw in the 'h'

Matias Alejandro is nice. I'm sort of neutral on Matias, but it's a good, handsome name that will suit your son well throughout his life.I hate Christian / Cristian, sorry. For one thing, I dislike the sound. Also, it's way too weighty and heavily associated with religion for me. What if he decides to convert to Judaism? What if he decides that he's an atheist? It's like naming a kid Jewish or Muslim to me. It comes across as flashing your (general you) religion in other people's faces. Sorry, but you asked for honest.

Christian Tiago and Matias Alejandro go together great. Both combos are strong, flow well, and sound nice with the sibs.

I think you should spell it Cristian. It would "match" more that way with the other children's names.Matias is a great name, BTW.

I'm not a fan of Matias Alejandro. I never really liked Matias (or other spellings) but I don't know why.I also prefer Christian with H because most people will spell his name this and if he spell it Cristian he have to tell them that it's without a H everytime.Is is two boys? :)

I honestly love them all and I still like Cristian better in the set than Christian. Matias is probably my favorite name out of all of them right now. I think they all go quite well together. :-)

Christian Tiago and Matias Alejandro are great. I think I'd go with Christian as that's the way people are naturally going to spell it. Tiago seems like a good idea for you. Matias is really nice, although I prefer Matthias. Obviously that spelling isn't an option though, which is cool. I think it fits in well with the other kid's names and I think you will grow to love it, even if you're not 100% sold on it yet. There really isn't anything terrible about it at all imo.

I love your choices!
Matias is such a strong, handsome name. It compliments the other names in the sibset without fading into the background. If you use the name for your son, even if only because your dh loves it, you will come to associate it with your little boy and it will grow on you more and more. :)For some reason I prefer the Cristian spelling today.
