Choosing the baby's name is one of the first decisions to be made as parents. On some occasions, we have many options that are to our liking or it is difficult for us to agree with our partner (or family, if we want to include them in the entire selection process) to choose a single name.
Therefore, it is perhaps a good idea to consider the option of naming our baby not only with one, but with two names. Yesterday we gave you ideas for girls names, now we share some ideas of classic and modern names of compound names for children.
Composite names for children
There are certain compound names that are classic, some because they have been used for a lifetime and others because in recent years they have acquired a lot of popularity. Based on the demographic data of the INE website and those compound names that are so popular, we share some of the options that remain in effect over time.
- Charles Albert: of Germanic origin, "Carlos" means "free man", while "Alberto", which is also of Germanic origin, means "he who shines for his nobility".
- Francisco Javier: Derived from the Italian "Francesco", Francisco means "French." Coming from the word Basque etcheberri, "Javier" means "one who lives in a new house"
- Francisco Jose: We repeat the name of "Francisco", this time accompanied by "José", one of the most common options for compound names, is of hebrew origin and means "magnified by God."
- Jesus Maria: from the Hebrew Yeshua, "Jesus" means "salvation", and although "Mary" is a female name, in certain compound names like this one it is used for men. It means "the one loved by God."

Recently we also shared an article with compound names for girls, in which we highlighted a special section for the name of "Maria", as it was the main name used when choosing a compound name.
