Baby Name Ideas Please!

[MariposaMami]

I just took an "Intelligender" home test to see if we were having a boy or a girl. I don't know if it's right or not, but it said we are supposedly having a boy.

Our childrens names are Diego, Miguel, Antonio, Carlos, and Lilia.
I'm looking for suggestions of names, both boy and girl that might go nicely with my other kids names. I have ideas for girl names, but pretty stumped with boy names. It's like I ran out!

I'd love to hear your suggestions!
Thanks!

And then see what comes back. It's a neat site!

There was a post on here a while back asking about names that sound good in Spanish and English with tons of posts and good ideas:

Hope this helps! Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I LOVE that site and I already have my names picked.

Every Joachim I've known...every. single. one.....has been just the sweetest little kid.

I vote Joachim!

(Orlando is pretty cool, too.)

but yeah...based on the illteligender results we've seen posted recently, I'd get busy with a girl's name, too.

Thank you all for your suggestions!
We have a large family (45 grandchildren and counting!), so it's kind of hard trying not to repeat names. It's also had for my husband and I to agree on names and then of course there's the "how will people pronounce this name?".
Like our daughter Lilia. We pronounce her name in Spanish, like 'Lee lee ah', and when people ask us what her name is, they say things like "wow that's a mouthful!", or I can't pronounce it as pretty as that, we'll just call her
'Lil ee ya'.

I saw Mateo mentioned on here and asked my husband what he thought. Looks like we both like that one! I like Javier too, but our Carlos is already Carlos Javier.

For girl names, he likes real basic names in Spanish, but I like names like Maritza (Mar ee tsa), Maia, Talia, Maricela, Marisa (Mar ee sa) and Carina (Ca ree nah). He really likes the name Lucia, but it reminds me of my old grouchy ants from Mexico with tight buns in their hair and pursed lips! It's such a pretty name too, but I just can't get that image out of my head! Plus our last name is Lucero. How's Lucia Lucero for ya?! We both like Natalia, but we already have a young Natalia in each of our families.

He said I could name the baby whatever I wanted, but I definitely would like for him to like the name too. We'd also both like for the name to have a Catholic connection.

Thanks for your suggestions and taking the time

So, looks like we might have a boys name,

I was going to post that I love Mateo before I read your second post. I thought I would still put in a plug for it.

[calynde]

yay! i think Matteo (or all of its various spellings) goes very well with the other names you have. I think all of your girls names work, too. I like Maia and Talia best. I love Lucia, too! I think it sounds fine with the last name, very poetic.

I LOVE Diego and Antonio.. Diego was on my short list for one of my kids.. and I have a special place in my heart for a certain Antonio..

I also like Tomas (NOT Thomas), Angelo, Ramon, Lorenzo, Emilio (first President of the Philippines!), Alonzo, and Miguel. Some of these might be more common where you live, but I have only met a couple of Emilio's.. Oscar is more common I would think.

All of our kids have one "American" name (however you want to interpret that ), and one more of Spanish origin.. since most Filipinos have Hispanic names.

For a girl, I have always loved Gemma which I don't think is too common in the US.
