    Looking for inspiration

    I just recently found out I am pregnant and I am looking for some ideas to toss around on baby names

    My SO is Hispanic and I am Italian/German and would love to incorporate some culture in LO's name. I would love to honor his side of the family especially since his mother was super excited when she found out.

    Some names I like:

    Boys: Turner, Ford, Fox, Walker, Felix, and Nico

    Girls: Rowan, Tessa, and Tenley.

    Those are great choices but none of them are of Spanish origin. Just a thought-- will you be giving the baby his/her father's last name? It's hard in bicultural families, but if you name your child something Spanish and s/he carries a Spanish last name, you can look at your own baby and think "where am I in this?"

    So, are you looking for Spanish, Italian and German selections? Or a more multicultural vibe like the suggestions you threw out?

    Judging by the names you've mentioned as favorites, i'm going to guess it'll be hard to find names in the languages you've mentioned that fit what appears to be your style: Tessa, Nico, and Felix come the closest to fitting the bill. But there are definitely names that fit all those categories, language-wise. You may have to pick between spellings, but what do you think of

    Adela
    Amalia
    Aurora
    Cara
    Corinna
    Elisa
    Gabriela
    Lea
    Lucia
    Serafina
    Tatiana


    Adrian
    Bruno
    Emanuel/Manuel
    Leo
    Luca
    Marco
    Oscar
    Rafael
    Sebastian
    Xavier/Javier

    Rowena might be more multi-cultural friendly compared to Rowan.

    I love the multicultural vibe, and all the names you guys have given are awesome! Especially since it's early we keep getting pulled in different directions. We haven't decided whose last name is carried on because of his multitude of brothers and my lack thereof.
    I want to thank everyone for responding though and because we have found some new favorites

    Luca, Adrian, and Dominic are now serious contenders. What about Cato, is that too much Hunger Games?

    Cato is a very important figure in Roman history (wiki him if you care). Currently people might think Hunger Games, but that will fade. It fits in with the -o trend now, too.
