When I was pregnant with my daughter, alot of fun went into picking her name. We wanted to make sure that we picked a name that was easy for my Hispanic family to pronounce (cause I've heard them butcher quite a few) and for my husband's Bulgarian family as well. It was a tossup between Scarlet and Victoria and ultimately, Victoria won because let's face it, my family would be calling her "Scarr-le" and turns out Victoria is not uncommon in Bulgaria.
I'm sure every parent wants to pick a nice name for their child. I wanted a not too common name, somewhat Hispanic or at least easy to pronounce in Español, and not so strange that my kid would be picked on...apologies if you named your child "Apple." I've compiled a list from top baby name app "Baby Names" of rare but up trending Spanish & Latin names and narrowed it down to 25. Maybe you'll find your baby's name here :)

Hope you found some inspiration. Ultimately it's your decision. People will always have their opinions. What matters is that you and your partner are happy with the decision and if your child grows up hating it, they can always change it when they turn 18 ;) besides you can always call them Mijo or Mija ;)
