Dionisio

[SuperManStoleMyPants]

Dino (dee-no) for short.

Opinions?

Are you Spanish/Latin American? Even if you are, if you live in the UK it's a bit of a mouthful. Not convinced.
And if you aren't - no.

Portuguese husband, live in London. Trust me there are more mouthful names than not, wouldn't be a problem.

Other option could be Davi.

How on earth is Dionisio or Dino a mouthful?
Obviously a foreign name. But Brits seem to struggle with foreign names and foreign languages generally.

I like it and prefer it to Davi

Me too Sophronia

I can imagine calling/saying Dionisio or Dino but not so much Davi, not sure why.

It's lovely.

I know a male Deon / Dion which would also make a good nickmame for your DS.

We thought about Dion as a nickname but DH wasn't keen. I think it reminds him of a not too nice child from his youth.

Sounds like an alcoholic drink or a disease, sorry

I like Dino, but not so keen on Dionisio (that's just my personal preference though)

I also like Davi, but people might pronounce it like Davey.

I've just suddenly realised that Dino is written the same as dino (dinosaur), which I suppose kids might pick up on. I still like it though.

I'm a little worried any ancient geek would associate it with dionysus (God of wine)

As it looks like it's pronounced similar.

God of wine!!!

sold! Dionisio it is

Dionisio is named for the god of wine, isn't it?
The reason I said it's a mouthful is because it's a 5 syllable name. That's quite a lot.

Do they have the Di as a G sound in Portuguese? I know the De is different to Brazilian Portuguese but not sure about Di, if it's not a g sound then perhaps but I prefer Davi as it is a lovely name, but I would add an accent on the í so people know it's a foreign name and then he can avoid being Davey.
