Help[Opinions] Spanish vs. Trendy Conflict... talked to the hubby, and the results are:
FOR THOSE JUST TUNING IN, this might help... a link to a previous post

He pretty much laughed at all the boys' names I had picked, which bites, because I really like Diego! He said there are a MILLION Diego's in Spanish-speaking countries, and he doesn't want to use it. I got rolling laughter after mentioning Tristan, Donato, and Salomon... apparently in Honduras, they are the equvalence of currently unpopular names in America, such as Percy, Earl, and Cecil.
Names he mentioned that I laughed at (not to offend, but simply not my taste) were Ricardo, Roberto, Dennis, and Mario.
WE BOTH LIKE..... MATEO! Yay! We agreed on something!
My sweety's name is Isai (Spanish for Isaiah), so we'd name a boy Mateo Isaiah, or Isaiah Mateo... or my choice, Mateo Aidan Isaiah. Which sounds best?
As for girls, we had a lot more options. He liked Andrea (too many of 'em for my taste) Helen (my Grandma's name, but no thanks!) Blanca (eh...)and Lupita (WHAT??). I liked Catalina Spencer, but he despises Catalina for some weird reason.
We BOTH liked Valencia, Victoria, Lucia, Lidia, and Nadia.
He'd like to fit Maria in the name somewhere for his mother, but I'm not so much seeing that working out. I like Valencia Delaney, Delaney Victoria, Lidia Spencer (or Lydia?), Lucia-Kate Valentina, Nadia-Paige Maria (???). I guess I need some help!
DON'T FORGET-- LN is SANTOS! :) I will also create some poles after I get feedback. Thanks!
