As this is a common last name in Brazil, I've always found it weird as a forename. It doesn't help that it's got the recent negative association with a certain corrupt Brazilian-American politician who lied about being the grandson of Holocaust survivors and even described himself as "Jew-ish".
I loathe this name, only for old men not for children.
Also used as a feminine name - rarely used in Spain and more heavily concentrated in much of Latin America (particularly Peru and much of Central America, which can also be applied for Santos as a masculine name).Links:

I think this name sounds exotic. It seems, like, instantly Mexican. Although that might just be because it's my boyfriend's name.
I love this name, I don't know why. It just sounds so sweet.
