unique Latin(ate) American names you like?
I am looking for names for my next CAF
They can be derived from any origin but they must be Latin American
I prefer names that are exclusively Latin American or uncommon in Europe compared to Latin America
they can also be Hispanic-AmericanI was unable to find long name lists from Latin America (except for Brazil, they have amazing top 1000s lists and they're very useful)whenever I look it up online I don't find anything interesting on baby name sites, if you know any websites that have lists especially those that use legitimate birth records (it doesn't matter if they're old-fashioned or modern),
please send them to meEdit; please send me male ones too!
