My surname is Spanish which means to wait. No doubt I have lots of patience. and Spanish first names sound so sexy. I love these names. <3
Back then, I love to name my son either as John Isaac, John Daniel or Sean Abraham but my hubby and I want to have our initials to be included on his name so we get the other form of John which is Sean but I can’t remember why we didn’t use Abraham any more.
