So were having a baby boy. So far, I'm set on a name I love which is English. So a Spanish name could possibly be an alternative or as a middle name. I see myself as English as is my partner but I have Spanish in the family from my mums side through her mum who has passed away. I would like to honour her but as I'm not directly Spanish I don't want a particularly strong sounded Spanish name, if that makes sense?
Is there such a name?
Any help would be great!

Go for it! What about Bruno, I love that name but Portuguese DH always says it's 'too Spanish' haha. I've only got girls anyway so never got to use it.

I love the name Tiago . There was a programme on TV about Portuguese settlers in DH's town in Ireland recently called "Tiago and the tunnel"

What about either a place name that has relevance or a surname? Do you know what part of Spain they were from? Or any surnames that were in your family? We are considering my mums maiden name (a name of Irish heritage) as a Middle name.

Arlo - apparently in Spain the name means ' from the Rabbit Meadow ' . I love it . It's our #1 choice for a boy .
