When choosing a name, one of the common desires is to find one that reflects your (or your partner’s) heritage or culture. You might also look toward a certain group of names because you love the language or the sound of a specific name.
Another common consideration is to look for a name that starts with a specific letter, whether you want to match your surname or a sibling’s name, or are aiming to give your baby certain initials. If you have landed here, you are probably in one or both categories.
Spanish is a beautiful sounding language with soft vowels and strong consonants, giving it a gentle but unyielding tone. What better language to find inspiration for your baby’s name? It will hopefully also reflect your aspirations for your child’s character and future.
For boys, some bold ‘B’ names include Bernardo, meaning bold as a bear, and Benito, meaning blessed (what a lovely sentiment to have for your child!). Boy’s names tend to be quite traditional, especially Hispanic ones which often draw inspiration from the Bible. An example is Benjamin, the name of one of Jacob’s sons who became the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Girls’ names are often more contemporary but no less beautiful. Baila, meaning dancer, and Buena, meaning good, are both lovely options and more than suitable for a sweet little girl.
