Help[Opinions] Re: Spanish vs. Trendy Conflict... Need Help!
in reply to a message by jewell_diva
I have a closet hyphen fetish (sshh! don't tell anyone here or I'll be mocked, lol), so I think your names are pretty cute. I came up with a couple of combos you might like (although I personally am not into trendy surnamey fns).
Elena - Logan, nn Laney (FYI, I actually knew a girl whose fn was Delaina & it has that hispanic "feel" to it; you could play with spellings until you found something you like -- although you didn't hear that from me, lol)
Tristan - Aubrey (could work for either sex as I know girls w/the names Tristan & Aubrey)
Ariceli - Peyton
Clara - Ainsley
Lidia - Bailey
Lourdes - Avery
Melania - Sydney
I know you said you liked Aidan, but Adrian is Spanish & sounds very similar; would you be open to using that as a fn?
Adrian - Connor
Donato - Quinn (I just prefer it to Diego-Quinn)
Diego - Mason
Mateo - Brennan
Solomon - Brady (Don't ask me why, but I really like these two together)
Jose - Emerson (Again, I don't know why, but I like these together & Jose wasn't even one of your suggestions)
Anyway, I hope you can come up with a combo you both love. :o)

Yay! Someone who shares the admitted hyphen fetish! Feels good to be out of the closet... I replied to someone else's post a few minutes ago, fully taking responsibility for having a guilty pleasure concerning a certain punctuation mark... lol.
Love your combos... I do really like Bailey. I don't know how that missed my surname list! I love surnames, but not super-overused ones like Taylor, Jackson, McKenzie, etc... but in combination with another name and a hyphen, I am considering names like "Paige" and "Brady," which wouldn't normally strike my fancy on their own.
ALSO, I will have to run "Delaina" by my hubby tonight! THAT is BRILLIANT. Delaina sounds quite Spanish... I mean, I know his relatives could pronounce it... I just MIGHT be able to get away with naming a girl "Delaney" if I tell my husband that he and the other Spanish relatives could call her "Delaina." I mean, my name is Noelle, but they have trouble saying it, so the call me "Noelia" and it doesn't bother me at all.
