Diego

[Carouselfish]

Only suitable with some Spanish heritage I'm assuming? Just really like it and have none!!

I actually really like it, I think it's nice!

I kind of like it OP. It's different. I know the name but I've never known anyone called Diego.

I would assume Spanish heritage, tbh.

It reminds me of the tiger from ice age!

I like the sound of it but having grown up in the states I would definitely assume Mexican heritage.

Some people will think of Diego Maradona.
I like it as a name though. I like Enzo too.

I like it, but immediately sang the Go Diego Go theme tune in my head, not sure if that’s still on but was a large part of my child’s younger tv viewing!

I called both my children names from the same country background despite having no connection (it was quite accidental that they were both from there) and haven’t had too many comments to be honest.

I know an Italian named Diego.

Love it!

I know an Italian boy named Diego but yes also Dora’s cousin

Love it! No need for Spanish heritage as nowadays practically any name is possible.

The cornish name Jago might be an alternative, or Hugo.

All it makes me think of is the character in Ice Age.

Love it!

I'm not keen. Don't xenophobes call Spanish people Diego in a derogatory manner?

Don’t like it- unless you are Spanish.

I heard a toddler Santiago being called in the park today. Nickname Santi. Thought it sounded lovely!

With a cousin called Dora (the explorer)

Don't xenopohobes call Spanish people Diego in a derogatory manner?

No, they don't. Where'd you get that idea from?

maradona ! Think it is a beautiful name but In possibly rather boring, blinkered way I just don’t think it makes sense if no Spanish/Latino heritage. It actually sounds very different to my ear with no cultural link and sounds naff suddenlyn. Sorry op - context is all I think. Congrats by the way !

Go Diego go!

Lovely name
I am Spanish

Not only Maradona
Velazquez and Ribera were Diegos too

I have met people here with DCs with Spanish names and I have asked oh, are you Spanish and many times they say no, but we liked the name, love Barcelona or whatever and they make me . I think it is nice

@MikeUniformMike Yago in Galician too . Galicia is a Celtic region, many similarities with Cornwall, Wales, Scotland. I am from there

I know quite a few Diegos but they all have Latino/Hispanic heritage. I lived in TX for a few years - it’s a common name there, but I’ve never met a white/black/Asian Diego - only Latino or Hispanic.
