If you want to take it further, Alberto ultimately comes from Adalbert , the components of which mean "bright and noble," and Sanz from Latin sanctus, "holy." So Bright and Noble Holy Wolf Warrior.

In my town, people seem to have realized every kid born in the last 10 years has either an -aden name or is named Nevaeh. So now the trend this year seems to be every little girl lately has been named Landon. Which wouldn't be so bad if the last year hadn't been the year of baby boy Landons.

Also someone just named their daughter Hadley. And I keep seeing a lot of variations of Kennedy too. Kennedie, Kynniddi, Kenedeigh, etc.

And, Taylre. Pronounced "Taylor". And Jole. Pronounced "Jo-ell".

Aesthetically? Probably not. But if you've just created a new spelling your kid is going to spend their whole life correcting things and explaining how their name is "actually" spelled.
