Can't decide between Bruno or Diego!

Will be Bruno Alexander or Diego Alexander.

Thank you

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 though.

DearMrDilkington · 29/11/2016 19:00

Ignore it grace. Absolutely nothing wrong with either name choice.

DearMrDilkington · 29/11/2016 19:00

gracy sorry!

1happyhippie · 29/11/2016 19:03

gracy i like both, but i love Diego

paddypants13 · 29/11/2016 19:05

Bruno is my favourite of the two.

I like Bruno Alexander. A good strong name.

Thanks everyone

He'll be half Australian and half Spanish.

Cultural understanding I've been asked my opinion on two names what's that got to do with cultural understanding I'm not living in Spain, if you were they are fantastic names you go for it

Why encourage your daughter to laugh about them though?

KlingybunFistelvase · 29/11/2016 19:08

Bruno by miles for me!

RusholmeRuffian · 29/11/2016 19:09

To me Bruno is a dog's name so of the two I'd have to say Diego.

YokoUhOh · 29/11/2016 19:12

My French friend has a DS (3yo) called Diego (her DP is half Spanish). I think it's gorgeous.

cheweduprope · 29/11/2016 19:12

I'm not a fan of Bruno at all, and I think Diego is pretty cool, so it gets my vote.

I have NEVER heard anyone pronounce it with 2 syllables. Can't even imagine how they would. I really don't think that's something you need to worry about.

YokoUhOh · 29/11/2016 19:13

PS I believe the equivalent in the UK is the Cornish 'Jago'.

sonlypuppyfat · 29/11/2016 19:14

Where have I said we laughed, I said we laughed at the double negative in your reply, "don't teach her not to laugh"

user1471950254 · 29/11/2016 19:14

I prefer Bruno

oleoleoleole · 29/11/2016 19:14

Bruno as I see Die go!

Wolverbamptonwanderer · 29/11/2016 19:15

I thought it was Diogo? I know both. Bruno is a prat so go with Diogo :)

Yawnyawnallday · 29/11/2016 19:17

If he's half Spanish then, Diego . Is it a family name? Not my fave Spanish name (Esteban for what it's worth) but if it runs for you ... Do you have an Anglo kind of surname? Does it sit ok with that? Alexander is great by the way.

Surname is Lopez

OP posts:

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 29/11/2016 19:19

I think Diego is OK if you happen to have some Spanish connection.

Bruno, as above, either a middle aged French or Swiss man in a cardie or a labrador.

sonlypuppyfat · 29/11/2016 19:27

Sorry I was rude

weekendninja · 29/11/2016 19:28

I really like both names but Bruno would be my first choice. Diego Lopez sounds fantastic though.

DoItTooJulia · 29/11/2016 19:32

Fair play sonly

Diego is the best-fresh and modern-great choice!
