I am English and my partner is Argentinian (spanish speaking). We have decided on a girls name, but are struggling to find a boys name that we both like. We don't want anything overly English (like matthew or paul) for example, or anything overly Spanish (Miguel, Pedro etc), but a name that is either neutral sounding, or combines a bit of both cultures. The best answer will not only get 10 points, but perhaps the honour of naming our son (if its a boy!)

Hmmmm, it's true, easier to find nice girls' hispanic names than boys'. How about Mauricio, Jaime, Rubén, Matías, Joel (pronounced ho-el), David (as in Dah-veed). It's fairly common to be called by 2 names in south america for instance Juan Pablo, José Manuel, Juan Eduardo, Luis Miguel :) etc etc.

ay ay ay Im Argentinean myself and I always wondered that (no kids yet)
But how about Tomas? Its Thomas and Tom'as (sorry no accent in this keyboard) He can be Tommy and Tomi to the relatives in Arg. Or Matthias, Matias, Matthew. Lucas is another one! or Julian, Julian is a beautiful name. You spell it the same way and both families will pronounce it w no problem!
Good luck guys and congrats for the baby :)

I have a friend who's parents are both hispanic, when i first heard his name, i wouldnt have guessed that he was spanish or anything at all, i suggest using a name like his one, Tomi. It sounds english enough but with a foreign-ness to it especially with the spelling.
good luck with your son.

Perhaps you could name him Angel. I don't know how you feel about names like that, but I think it is beautiful as a boy's name. Alexander is a good name (Alejandre, Alex), or you could even spell it Alexandre. Another fantastic name (my favorite!) Is Karsten. Also Trae? good luck and I hope you like-y!
