My wife and I are both 20 years old and have been married for two months. We found out very recently that she is about two months along. Of course, we are thinking about names. We want our child's name to mean "freedom" or "liberty" regardless of the sex. Our last name is Watt.

Some considered are "Liberty" (F), "Freedom" (U), "Saoirse" (F) ([SEER-sha] Gaelic), and "Pancho" (M).

Names that can easily be pronounced by native Spanish speakers are a plus.

I absolutely adore the name Liberty. I don't know how well it goes with Watt though.

The Gaelic first name and your Celtic last name would be really cool.

"Pancho Watt" definitely has a good rhythm. Naming a kid after a revolutionary definitely would put freedom in the name.

I'm going to have to say Liberty or Pancho, but I haven't looked up any more. But, the choice is yours and your wife's, not mine.

Best of luck, Marine

You don't say where you live. If it's in the U.S., I respectfully suggest you choose a name that is first and foremost for a person, not a statement. I know that there are some Latino societies where this sort of naming is kosher, but it's a little ham-handed. (I'm talking about Liberty or Freedom as names.)

Saoirse is a fascinating name, but you should have an easy-to-spell nickname for her during her childhood - just an alternative spelling for the name until she gets older. Put Saoirse on the birth cert., but use Seersha as a nickname on forms, etc.

Pancho means "freedom/liberty"?

Have you looked in a book (or website) of baby names? You might find one indexed by meaning of the names.

Congratulations on your marriage and baby!

Well first off Congrats on the baby!
Now I like your names that you have picked and if thats what you want them to mean that gets right down to the point. Another is usually Pancho is Francisco and nicknamed Pancho! but it wouldnt really matter. Im not too fond of Saoirse, i would have never pronounced it how you have it. (SORRY) Anyways some names I like also are : Jesus(m) Josue(m) Mika(m)
Rosa(f) Claire(f)

Oh, Saoirse is absolutely smashing, but it just isn't practical, because you will ALWAYS need to follow it with the phonetic spelling.

I don't particularly care for the others. A little too Frank Zappa, maybe? lol I prefer "Free" to "Freedom". I think most folks are going to call "Liberty" "Lib". I don't know enough Spanish to know what "Pancho" means.

For now, I am wracking my brain for an alternative

I know a very sweet little girl named Liberty Jane.

Have you considered:
The boy's name Cherut \ch(e)-rut\ is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "liberty".

Charles Watt. Charles means "free man"

Freed Watt: Freed means free, peace.

The boy's name Liberio \l(i)-be-rio\ is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "free".

Justice Watt

Chance Watt

Americus Watt

Patriot Watt (you can use the nn Pat or Patty)

Good Luck! SD

liberté is liberty/freedom in french.

i know this doens't have to do with liberty or freedom, but esperanza (meaning hope) is a pretty name that would definitely be easy for native spanish speakers to pronounce. :-)
