Raphael Fernandes, given that I really want to use that name a lot, but it doesn't sound the same with my clearly Irish surname. In fact, most og my list would sound better with that surname.
james grady fernandes because that's my name choice and it isnt going to change for the last name. the probable last name for my children is 4 syllables and extremely italian. i'm still going with my original choices.
My grandmother's last name is Fernandes, her father's name was Adriano Augusto Fernandes. I also know another boy named Fernandes and his name is Miguel Ângelo.
It would depend on the rest of my heritage. If the baby was mostly of hispanic descent, then hispanic given names make sense. But otherwise, I'd rather go with names that cherish the other parts of his heritage.
I'm a mixed child (italian-american) and I'm really grateful my first and middle names are anglosaxon, since my last name is italian. If my whole name was italian, I'd pass for an italian, and that wouldn't be very representative of who I am.
Others I like with Fernandes: Octavian Augustus Joaquin Constatine Julius Dominic Darien Maximilian Isasis Julian Nicolao Elias Paulos Azul Andres Percy Lando Miguel Rio Eli Eamon
