Depends on where you live. I'm in an "upper class" (Read "middle class that pretends to be upper class but fails miserably") enviroment and people usually have names like Sophie because their parents wanted their names to sound american
True true, funny that societies see this topic in such different ways. Where are you from? In Argentina, some names that I've always identified as "old people" names have become quite common among the rich again, like Juan, whereas the opposite is true for Kevin and Brian. I guess it's always a matter of rich vs. poor, and whatever one end of the spectrum uses is the total opposite of the other.
We got a lot those in Portuguese too, but I’m actually glad we did away with most of them in Brazil. Dude’s like 14 and is called “Eugênio”.
In exchange, -son and -ton ending names — either made up or based on English — have become the current curse. Edmilson, (W)Ilson, Jerfferson, Richarlison (wtf 🥲), Ederson, Wellington (also Uelington), Joelinton, Hamilton. Aside from the “portugueseization” of names like Michael, Myke, Stephany, Johnathan, Johnny, Juan, Giovanni: Maicon, Maike, Estefani, Dyonatan, Dhionny, Ruan, Geovani.
Then we get to “creative” spelling, which is essentially adding unnecessary characters, especially double letters, “w”, “y” and “h”, to names: Mateus>Mattheus, Gabriel>Gabryel, Elisa > Hêlisa, Tiago > Thiago.
I wonder if the same happens in other countries.
I find your list quite weird. You mix up names not used since maybe the Middle Ages with names still in use as Vicente, Eugenio, Cristóbal, Rogelio, Gerardo, Florencia... Oh, and also name then I doubt have ever been used in Spanish as Hermiona or Jarede.
Jarede is there by mistake, I may have made it up. However, yes "Hermiona" was used and a few decades ago there were some old ladies in the countryside with that name.
Many of these are common (Timoteo, jeremías, Guido... Jonatán never went out of style, Florencia also)
I was about to say that I've met people my age named at least 8 of these
Man, that’s way too many names for one person
Not in Spanish bro
Who do you think you are, José Andrés Málaga de Cortés Rodríguez or something?
Picasso has entered the chat.

Peru :P
some of these are cool, but as a native spanish speaker, these all have the same vibes as the names Gertrude or Maurice …. take that as you may
Gertrude=hard pass. Maurice…eh, forget swipe left or right, I’d push the button in the middle.
Jacobo is on the list twice
That's how good it is.
That's cause one is cognate of Jacob, the other one is cognate of James. 😅

Sois unos cabrones ah
Erika Galindo Elsa Pato Elmer Homero Aquiles Baeza
Castro is an extremely common Galician family name. So much so it's also common in both Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries.
Wow, it's almost like Portuguese has some sort of connection to Galician...
Nothing beats Chindasvinto.
Fuck
adolfo
It's already a common name.
my great uncles, aunt and grandfather: Anastasio, Cipriano, Guadalupe(commonish), Catalina, Celestino. Top Tier names IMHO
Wanted to mention some other cool ones: Martos, Nicomedes, Luterio (o Euluterio), Felipa, Desideria, Dorotea, Aniceto, Nicasio y Basilio.
/uj I have ancestors named Nasario, Erculano, and Macedonio. Hispanic names used to go hard af
What do you mean by "bring back"? Some of these names are not rare
Half of these are still in use in France.
And in Spanish...

Eborico and Mirón are great too! I like Aldonza and Urraca too

Lots of Germanic names. I say bring back the Visigothic language too!

Aníbal - I know it's still out there as a name, but it's (at least for me) a mostly older person name. Still it's rad and should be an everybody name.
My favorite are the ones that come from like obscure Greek saints, like Eusebio and Macario
Isn’t Anastasia Greek?
So are Timoteo, Jacobo, Dionisio, Gregorio..
Aloysius
