[quote=Anonymous]Joaquin is a lovely, classic name. Don't worry about whether people can't spell it. He'll learn to spell it and that will be that. Honestly, DCUM skews so weirdly conservative on names. My kids and their friends have learned to spell a wide range of names, and it's never a problem. Personally, I like the wide range of names and I'm glad we're past the days when everybody was named John, Michael, and Mary. Of all the names you listed, I think Lucia will be the hardest as far as how to pronounce the name. With Lucia, people will vary between whether it's "Lu-CHEE-ah," "Lu-SEE-ah," "Loo-SHA," or "Loo-SHE-ah." With Joaquin, I think your biggest pronunciation issue will be whether people mix it up with Joaquim. I wouldn't not pick either name based on that, though. People will learn. Other boys names that come to mind (some of them used by friends in the same situation as you): Sebastián Alejandro (nn Alex) Daniel Martín Carlos Elías Antonio (nn Tony) [/quote]
