Cruz

What do you ladies think of the boy name Cruz?  Too trendy?  Too short?  I am not in love with it, but it's one of the only names that I even kind of like with both our Italian last name and as a sibling to DS's name, Leo.  Any other suggestions?

I find that it sounds quite harsh for a first name. I don't think it's too short.

I'd like to add to Luca (love) and Felix (love!): Giorgio, Tommasso, Francesco, Lorenzo (Enzo), and Valerio.

Leo and Eli would make a really cute sibset as well!

Do you know this name actually is to represent the holy cross on which Jesus died? It seems weird to me that this name is getting trendy because it seems uber religious to me.

Dominic

Aldo

Antonio

Giovanni

Lorenzo (Enzo) this gives you the Z if you are drawn to that letter.

Luca (which I know gets a lot of love on this board) and Eli are also on my personal short-list.  But DH does not like them!  He also doesn't love Cruz, but likes it the best of the three.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I don't want something super Italian sounding, but just enough to sound okay with the other names.  Felix is interesting, but I will have to think about it for a while.

That's too bad! But you've both got to be on board. Perhaps you can convince him of Elias :) How about Jasper, Milo or Hugo?

I love it (it is in the running for our middle name) and don't consider it to be too trendy or popular - it has never been over 300 since 1999.  http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi 

I didn't even know one of the Beckham children was named Cruz until reading this post. 

I did know the religious connection.  I lost my dad last year and like the name to honor his Mexican heritage and because it means cross in Spanish.

I always thought Cruz was a traditional female Spanish name? Sort of like Mary.

ETA I could be wrong, I thought this came up when the Beckhams chose that name.
