Can't decide between Bruno or Diego!

Will be Bruno Alexander or Diego Alexander.

Thank you Smile

Don't be a knob puppyfat. Diego is a popular Spanish name, Bruno is also a popular name in different countries.

Good to see your raising your dd with such cultural understanding thoughWink.

I didn't ask for on an opinion. I asked which you preferred. If you don't like either of them and have no preference, how is it helpful?

She found them funny? Don't you teach her to not laugh at names that are potentially from a different country?

I've commented because I've been asked my opinion. I asked my DD 15 what she thought of them and she thought they were funny

Why are they awful? Why comment?

Bruno. When I hear Diego I now just think of the cartoon, so I sing Dieeeeeeeego in my head.

sonlypuppyfat · 29/11/2016 18:36

No sorry they are awful names

Yes, I say it with 3 syllables, but some say it with 2! Confused

Thank you Smile

Surname won't make it spell any funny words for either of them.

Probably irrelevant to you, but here in France Bruno is very much a middle-aged man name. I know loads in their 50s...

Diego is nice. I can only think of one possible pronunciation, though, unless I'm missing something. Surely it's dee-EY-go, like the city San Diego, no?

Imsickofnamechanging · 29/11/2016 18:33

Sonly Dont be ridiculous.
OP I like Both actually, but think Diego is my favourite.

Footle · 29/11/2016 18:31

Diego .. But make sure his initials don't spell anything silly, what with the vowel in the middle.

What? Shock they're normal, well-known names?

Dead, what's the point in saying that? It's between either one, so no point in putting that. What's wrong with them?

OP posts:
Deadsouls · 29/11/2016 18:17

Neither

GracyEvans · 29/11/2016 18:16

Only issue I have is Diego gets pronounced differently by a lot of people...

OP posts:
Coey2016 · 29/11/2016 18:16

I like both!

LadyBunnyFluff · 29/11/2016 18:15

Diego is lovely.

Bruno is horrible.

DearMrDilkington · 29/11/2016 17:51

Diego.

Bruno will never be the same again after that film..
