Baby Names
Name dilemma!
Aimée
Hi best (expecting) moms,
We have a name dilemma! I've read a lot around and we're definitely not the only ones..
I'm already overdue, but still waiting for the birth, and we still haven't figured it out.. so the stress is increasing a bit ;-)
Extra info: We don't live in Europe, but we're both Dutch. That's why we're looking for a somewhat more exotic name, but not too exotic, one that would be too hard to pronounce in the Netherlands.
What do you think of the name:
"Atlas"
Or of the name:
"Aquila"
I'm curious what these names bring up for you.

I assume you live in a Spanish-speaking country?
Atlas: the man in Greek mythology who had to carry the world (and hence the name for a book full of maps of the world). Not bad as a name, but quite unusual by Dutch standards. Are you ever coming back to the Netherlands?
Aquila obviously means eagle, but it sounds quite feminine to a Dutch person, especially if you don't know the meaning.
