How I chose my hispanic baby boy names for my bilingual baby
Before I got pregnant with my son, I always wanted the name Thiago/Tiago for a boy.
It was the perfect combination for my little multicultural, bilingual family. My hubby is from Central America, and my ancestors are from Italy, so Thiago (with Italian orthography) was the perfect name to represent our different languages and cultures.

It would also have been easy to pronounce for my family and dear hubby’s family.
I used to say Thiago in my head all day long, imagining the day I would meet my little prince.
Unfortunately, I shared my good choice with a fellow pregnant coworker. Guess what happened? YUP! She ended up naming her little boy Thiago! What!
I was horrified.
Fast forward a few months later, I became pregnant myself, so I had to start my own baby name search.
At the end of the day, I am relieved that she took that name because not only did I find one that I like a lot better, but Thiago also turned about to be a trendy name.
I for sure did not want a common name. I wanted a classic name, a powerful name, the right name for my little boy with Latin roots. And I found it!
It didn’t end up being a Spanish baby boy name per se, but it was the perfect choice for our child. If you haven’t already guessed from the name of my blog, that choice was Lennox!
Well, now that you know my baby name story, let’s get on with this list of Spanish boy names so you can pick yours out too!
