Padro for a girl?

[DawnieOwl]

This is a slightly unconventional name but im a big fan and I think it is very cool and also unisex. Thoughts?

It's another vote for no here. Why do you want to give your female child a unisex name?

Makes me think of tapas/ peppers

Don't like that name at all- sorry 😬

Was about something like Petra?

Don't like it at all - sounds like a made up boys name and a mis- spelling of pedro.

If you like the -o sound then Cleo as suggested by a pp is lovely.

Well the obvious nn for Padro would be..
Either Padi or Pado
One's slightly racist, the other a sex criminal.
Or just call her Pa for short

🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Awful.
A boy and a priest.
Ugly name for a girl.

I'm confused, what does Cleo have to do with it

Nope

What does it mean?

It's a vermouth like a pp said. Or a surname.

Still, people get called Chardonnay, I guess. And have surnames as first names, like Taylor Swift.

I like a lot of ‘o’ ending female names like Callisto, and don’t mind unisex names in principle. But Padro is harsh-sounding to my ear and too much like Pedro.

Seemingly “Padro” isn’t the full name. It should be Padro-siragu and the meaning is given below (you need to click on image attached)

No.

Would you like that name, honestly?

I assume OP is making the point that both in Italian and Spanish, O endings are typically male. Therefore us simpletons think Padro is a male name. But silly us, Cleo ends in O and is a girl's name. Radio in Italian is female, cinema is male, there are exceptions in all languages.

Padro is 'unisex' which invariably means the parent is a bit sexist. Boy is a promotion and girl is a demotion. They'd never call their boy Cleo.

That's a dog's name at best.

I don't like it.

If you are looking for Spanish/Latin names there are so many that are much nicer.

Pablo wuld be great for a coffee coloured puppy.
Do you like ..
Pomeline
Polly
Pascale
Padra
Audra
Petra

I only think of padron peppers

No. Horrible and ugly. Why not choose a nice girls name? There are plenty which aren't frilly.

Oh, no. It sounds so male. Like many anglosaxons pronounce Pedro. And yes, I do know feminine words can end in -o. Mano is feminine in Spanish, as in la mano. But it is just so ugly. You asked for opinions, so here it is.

Sounds like a shite Mexican restaurant in the Midlands.

No, absolutely awful. At a stretch alright for a dog. Sounds like Pedro/Padron pepper

It's a surname, the brand name of a drinks company and the name of a UK construction company.

A quick google says that it is also the name (in Portuguese) given to stone pillars marked with a cross used by Portuguese explorers to mark areas of land they were taking away from indigenous peoples in Africa and Asia during the colonial era. In other words, it's the name of a symbol of exploitation.

Pretend it’s your name. Introduce yourself as Padro to new people and gauge their reactions.
