Hey ladies!
I just found out I'm pregnant yesterday, due April 6, 2008. My bf is Brazilian, and picking out a name for my son is going to be difficult! I want something that is Brazilian/hispanic sounding, but not too ethnic for an American child. For girls, I have already chosen names like Alayna and Adriana, but I can't come with with anything for a boy. His last name will be "da Silva" if that makes a difference! thanks!

I like Alayna and Adriana a lot.

Here are some that I like:

Adrian/ Adriano de Silva
Antonio de Silva
Joaquin de Silva
Daniel de Silva (Daniel is the same in almost all languages, so can't go wrong here!)
David de Silva (same situation as Daniel)
Elias de Silva
Gabriel de Silva
Hugo de Silva
Leo de Silva (could use Leandro or Leonardo as full name if you wanted)
Lucas de Silva
Marco de Silva
Victor de Silva
Xavier de Silva

Good luck to you with the pregnancy and the name situation! I agree w/ pp that Elena would be the best international spelling (I think it's prettier too). Adriana is also pretty!
