Here is a list of Portuguese Names I really like, WDYT?
Ones marked * I really would use.
Some have accents over the names but I cannot do them.
I asked for the correct pronouncations from my mother on how to say them in Portuguese.
Yes
Cruz,
Joaquin (this spelling, and
Joaquim), and
Antonio are also Portuguese :).
I would use the portuguese pronouncations if I ever used:
Joaquin,
Cruz, possibly
David (I do like the English version too),
Neves, and
Rui. Although I don't expect people to say them correctly, lol.
