[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We considered Joaquin, but it would be a nightmare for others to spell and pronounce.

What about Mateo? [/quote]

A nightmare? wow. who are you hanging out with? it's 2017. [/quote]

Because you specifically asked about names that are easily pronounceable in both languages, I would recommend against Joaquin.  It's a great name, but not easy.  A Joaquin joined another team at work about six months ago, and people still BUTCHER his name.  Young, old, male, female, black, white, brown - it is universally butchered.  I think it's a great name and make a point to say his name correctly after someone messes it up, but often they mispronounce it the next time too.  That said, I know a toddler Joaquin from my neighborhood, and none of the other neighborhood moms mispronounce it.  Take that for what you will, but those are my experiences with Joaquin.  I also think of it as more Portuguese/Brazilian, but maybe that's my misunderstanding.

I like Sebastian, Santiago, Martin, and Julian (though be prepared to get the English "j" sound).[/quote]
