He left Peru when he was 9 yrs. old. In the last few years we have travelled to South America to see Ecuador and some of Peru. We would love to go and visit MACHU PICHU, but we have no one in Peru and we are trying to figure out how to go about it. Anyway, I am trying to lean Quechu. I am really impressed that you are naming your children so., its worderful. good luck, MUCHA SUERTE

We had our first son 21 months ago and it was very difficult for us to find a name ’cause we though we had to take into account much more things that other people. We think a name is VERY importan ’cause its something that will somehow define a person so we were careful. Its good to choose a nam you like but i think we have to think very good if we want to give a name that is a bit “too weird”. We took the next things into account:
-A name that is easy to write and pronounce for both families (spanish and dutch). My name is spanish so here nobody knows it and its kind of annoying when i have to correct people thousand times a day because they dont say it or write it correctly.
-It has to match the dutch surname of my husband
-If its a name with a meaning, a positive meaning

I think its really cool that you want to give your child a name in quechua, i love the idea also but be carefull when you pick one ’cause most of those names are very difficult to pronounce in spanish so imagine how it will be in another languages. Another thing is the spelling, that will be a problem (anooyance) in the future for your kid, specially if its a LONG name like “Inakapalla”….like i said, its cool and original but too weird.

Theres one name in quechua that i find beautiful but the problem is that it has a “CH” in between. The name is VALICHA and it’s from a peruvian folk song. Valicha is the nickname of Valentina <—also beautiful.

I came across this website 'cause im pregnant again, we still dont know if its a boy or a girl but im looking for names :-)

pd: if your wife and her family speak spanish and you and your family speak dutch YOU should talk to the baby in dutch and your wife in spanish! We are doing that with our son and he is learning both languages at the same time with no problems at all! Babies are sponges, dont forget it and it is a BIG advantage if he/she speaks both languages :-)
Good luck!

I’m still trying to convince Patricia to use a Quechua name, she’s kind of apprehensive since neither of us speak Quechua :(

I also found out people use “Kantu” for a name, and I’m beginning to warm up to that!
