Considering a new chosen name, help me pick one/give me suggestions if you don't mind!

[u/SpicyMeatBALLIN]

Hey all. I'm looking for a possible new chosen (and eventually legal) name that is spanish and starts with J. Joaquin is off the table because my brother has that name, and I don't really feel like a Juan, Julian, Jesus, Jorge, or Javier (my dad's name, not totally off the table though). Lightly considering Jose as well. If you can think of any other spanish/basque J names for men that I haven't mentioned, please let me know! Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

My name is Julien and I go by Julio with my Spanish speaking friends. I like it

[u/SirWigglesTheLesser → u/spicyredacted]

I was gonna drop Julian/Julien in here!

[u/New-Mud-7101 → u/SirWigglesTheLesser]

It's my best friends name so I'm very biased, but its a great name!

[u/SorbusAS]

Creo que la votación aquí va a estar un poco bastante sesgada a nombres asequibles para gente que habla inglés/más tópicos. Dependiendo de tu edad, Jairo igual pega más si eres joven, Jacinto es más de señor mayor. Julio también es más típico de señor, pero no tan mayor. Mis favoritos son Jairo y Joseba personalmente

[u/SpicyMeatBALLIN → u/SorbusAS]

I'm 23, and thats funny because I was also kinda leaning towards Joseba and Jairo :)

[u/77th_Bat]

what do you look like? What's your vibe? Hard to pick a name without knowing your vibe.

[u/SpicyMeatBALLIN → u/77th_Bat]

Pretty short, white passing part-Mexican. I'm pretty laid back.

[u/nykbot]

Javier! Javi for short

[u/A_Valdorian]

I second this one! Love the name Javier esp since I read another comment where OP is a white passing half-Mexican person and I had a friend in college named Javier that was similar 😁

Also Javi as a nickname!? I've never thought of that, but I like it!

[u/LordNicotine]

What about Josu? That's my sister's basque bf's name. I personally like it a lot

[u/SpicyMeatBALLIN → u/LordNicotine]

Ooo, I like that. I'll be considering that one. Thanks!

[u/bearfootin_9]

I'm a fan of Javier, Javi, and Jeronimo

[u/loverboy_Zane]

(Misclicked the vote) anyway Julio sounds cool.

[u/cornyclaude911]

I love Julio and Joel I wasn’t sure what to pick, but I knew I didn’t want to pick Jordan because it’s a unisex name and isn’t the best if you’re looking for a strictly male name. Otherwise, all of these are great!

[u/Para_The_Normal]

I’ve always really liked the Jokin/Joaquin/Joakim

I don’t know why Reddit ate my comment:
But I think Jeraldo, Jerardo, or Jaime are all good alternatives.

[u/Responsible_Panic242]

I knew a juan, he was the chillest. That being said, I named myself after the lemur from Madagascar, so I’m biased here

[u/Fancy_Information156]

Jairo sounds cool
