If it's a girl I suggest either Khaliah,Tayla or Natalia.
If it's a boy I suggest either Kai,Jordan or Dillon. Hope this helps cause I absolutely adore these baby names


I don't think they asked for English names.

The other folks suggested Spanish names.

The only authentic PR names are the indigenous ones. Go with Agueybana for a boy and Guanina for a girl. These names are so polular in PR that practically half of the population has them.

Names are Significant

I would suggest that you wait until you see the baby. When you look into his/her eyes, and hold the fingers in your hand. The name will come to you.

Just remember a name is very significant to the baby's future and destiny so be patient and wise it will come to you.

Baby names

I suggest you look into a site like http://www.20000names.com for ideas.

Latinos are choosing names for their children based on a combination of the father's and mother's name ( like Elian, the kid who created all the hoopla in Florida).

I made-up the name Yujike for my sobriquet, from Yukiyu(A God),Bojike ( a medicine man) and Yake ( another form of God), maybe you could do something like that instead of using the more traditional taino names, which indeed are overused.

Sometimes I wish we could get temporary names until we are old enough to choose one ourselves. I've met so many people who hate their names, either because it is out-dated or is related to a well known bad character or simply because they consider it ugly. Fortunately nobody names their children Barrabas or Judas or Benedict.

Good luck in whatever name you guys choose!!
