The aunt of the little girl I babysit for has been thinking of boy's names.

The only one I've heard is Diego. I kind of like it, but there's Go, Diego, Go! and I wouldn't name my kid that because of that connotation. And she's thinking the same thing...

I love the name Diego. Maybe that show will dwindle in popularity by the time she has a boy?

I don't think it's so much the popularity, it's just the connotations with Dora the Explorer.

Oh man, as the mom of a seven year old boy, I can tell you Diego isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He only keeps getting more and more popular. *looks wearily at Diego pillow, Animal Rescue center, and talking Diego doll a few feet away* and sadly, that's just the living room. His room upstairs looks like Nick Jr. threw up in there.

I actually like Diego, despite the connotations.

Is she looking specifically for a Spanish name? I like Marco, Carlos, Miguel, Hugo, and Teo (either on its own or short for Teodoro).

I'm not sure about what she's looking for, because her girl names were Ivy and Ramona, so...

Diego Luna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Luna)... *dreamy sigh*

Good point =)

Diego wouldn't be too bad. But naming a girl Dora would be cruel.

[omfg----hxc.livejournal.com]

I agree.

yeah. the first thing i thought about was the cartoon. =/ but i do like it as a name. i just feel like it might be kind of hard to grow up with right now. it's like naming your daughter dora or miley.

I don't think I'd use Diego either. It doesn't make me think of "Go, Diego, Go!" (is that show really that popular? I've only seen it a few times flipping through channels. Isn't "Blues Clues" the big one or am I just way too out of touch?) but it does make me think of San Diego. Lovely city but I'd feel weird naming a kid after any of the (San) cities, Francisco, Cruz, Barbara, etc.... But then I'm a Californian at heart so I automatically think of those names as cities instead of legitimate names.
