Say HOLA! 10 Spanish baby names that are absolutely stunning

Sometimes you need to look outside the box a little when it comes to inspiration.

Baby names are one of these instances, we think. And guess what, mamas? There is a big world out there, and it is brimming with gorgeous names for your baby. Don't believe us? Just take a look at these fabulous Spanish names we have rounded up: 1. Zara Yes, you can totally use the name of our very favourite (Spanish) fashion store as your baby girl's name too. 2. Izan This Spanish boy name is in most parts of Spain pronounced very close to the more-common-on-our-shores Ethan. 3. Valentina Valentina is the feminine version of Valentine—and translates to "strong and healthy" – a great moniker for your little girl, in other words. 4. Mateo This boys' name is currently trending in Scandinavia, and it's not hard to see why. 5. Alba Not only is this the last name of one of our biggest ever girl crushes (the beautifully talented Jessica Alba), but the moniker also comes from a Spanish word meaning "sunrise." 6. Emilio Although Emilio is a name of Italian origin, it is also a popular choice for Spanish baby boys. 7. Lucia Lucia means "light" and is an Italian saint celebrated every year in December, on St. Lucia's Day, Decemeber 13th. 8. Rafael We love the name Rafeal– as does Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, it would seem, as the couple gave their youngest baby boy this very moniker. 9. Luana Luana translates to "happiness, pleasure" and is just the sweetest name, we think. 10. Thiago Although technically a Portugese name, Thiago is popular in Spanish speaking countries too, and is pronounced chee-AH-go. Did YOU pick a foreign name for your baby?
