Cyprus is an exotic place full of love and beauty. Hector is a mighty warrior but when he was killed, his body was tied to the back of a chariot and dragged for all to see. The last memory of Hector was his abused body.<br /><br />2) Ignacio - If Ichiro wasn't associated with the baseball player, I would have voted for Ichiro because it means "first-born son". However I think it would be too great of a burden for a boy to carry the name and to try to live up to the high expectations. Ignacio comes from the word "fire", a Chinese character which appears repeatedly in my Chinese name.<br /><br />Eugenemiragenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840167821193054314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846913580934557882.post-51372571828958540812010-06-03T00:53:02.587-07:002010-06-03T00:53:02.587-07:00My two votes for this round:

Because those names are soliiiid. And, whatever, Cyprus is not a girl's name. Phonetically, it sounds like "cypress" - a strong & sturdy evergreen that grows both in Asia & North America. Besides, Cypress Hill is all sorts of manly.<br /><br />Ignacio - Because it sounds strong (and strong in character, as evidenced by the many saints with that name). And because Ichiro means "I'm awesome but I play for a perennially losing team." You just don't want Team Chan to have that kind of rep!Baohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577220010619850053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846913580934557882.post-78852096621075611702010-05-31T09:24:37.448-07:002010-05-31T09:24:37.448-07:00Cyprus -- only because i've decided i'm vo...Cyprus -- only because i've decided i'm voting for any "C" name now... so he can also be affectionately called "CC". :) "Cy" would be an awesome nickname too... are we predicting a future baseball player?? <br /><br />i gotta go with it...<br /><br />Ichiro. <br /><br /><br />.... go giants! :)j.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832664761119653569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846913580934557882.post-922985925547029492010-05-31T08:46:35.549-07:002010-05-31T08:46:35.549-07:00Hector is one of the great heros of all time!

My choices: Cyprus and Ignacio. <br /><br />If he was named Ichiro or Hector (even Ignacio), his whole life he'll have to explain that he's actually full chinese and that his mother is not Japanese or Latina. They will never 1st think "Oh yeah, the dude (Hector) from that Troy movie! I like that movie!" I like Ignacio because that's the name of Jack Black's character on Nacho Libre (my fav)...which is also his nickname.
