Boy names that begin with the letter O

As you probably already know, the letter O occupies the fifteenth position in the Spanish alphabet and is the fourth vowel.

Although its origins date back to the Phoenicians, we know that the Greeks divided it into two. On the one hand, omicron for the short O, and omega (Ω) to refer to the long O. But the Latin alphabet united these elements in a single letter for both sounds.

As we always tell you, try to combine each name with your child’s last name. This way, you’ll hear how it sounds, you’ll practice its pronunciation, and you’ll be able to avoid cacophonies or names that may end in ridicule. After all, this will be the cover letter that your child will carry throughout his life.
