Hey mamas i need help!!
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with our first but it seems we can not agree on a name. We’re looking for a boy name that works in English and Spanish and has a cute nickname. I’m in love with the name Mateo but hubby doesn’t like it :weary: Help!!

We couldn’t agree either, even after our son was born. So he wrote <10 names on an index card, and I crossed out the ones I could not agree with. Then we wrote out first/middle/last of the ones we both agreed on and that helped us decide.

My son’s name is Matteo.

I’m in the same boat! 33 1/2 weeks and we have two names in mind but we aren’t sure about them :grimacing:

Also didn’t have a name for my son until 2 days after he was born. :woman_shrugging:

1 of my sons is Nicolas in Spanish the nick name is, Nico. Another is Gregorio nn Gollo(goyo). Since my kids dads from Mexico, and doesn’t know American names, we did names that are used in both places.

Okay so when I was pregnant I really like the name from that kids movie “brother bear “the guys name was “kenai” and the little bears name was “koda” and I watched the movies in English and Spanish and they sounded so cute to me in both languages but my SO didn’t like them plus we had a girl but just an idea :blush:
