I like Diego. The others can jump in a lake.

Diego is hip and cool. I met a boy named Diego whose sister was Esme.
Cisco is a little on the glib side. Company name and all. But I like Francisco. I worked with a Francisco, loved saying his name.
Santos, I dunno ... it pretty plainly (to me) means saints, and that doesn't appeal to me a lot. Surnamey. But it's not bad.

I don't really like the names that you brought up but Santos is the name that I dislike the least.
Diego, to me, sounds a bit stereotypical and Cisco reminds me of Cisco Systems. Santos does mean "saints," but since this is the only one out of the 3 that I'm actually OK with, I do not seem to care what it means.

Diego- I had a student with this name. He was a real whiny kid. The best name on the list, though.

Cisco- The Thong Song. It could work as a nn for Francisco, but not my style.

---

Santos- I have a student with this last name.

I have always thought Diego was really nice, but I'm not sure if the children's show has made it less usable right now. I also really love Tiago.

---

Cisco is too close to Crisco for me. It just seems more like a brand name than a person's name.

---

Santos is okay. I've never really thought about it before. It's kind of close to Santa. It's all right though.

Diego is OK, I just never really warmed to it. Cisco is great, but only as a nickname for the *fabulous* Francisco.

Santos? Perhaps in Spanish it's normal, but to this Anglo speaker it's uncomfortably religious. This, from someone who loves names like Annunziata and Salvatore. Go figure.

Diego -- muy calliente!
Cisco -- like but only as a nn for Francisco
Santos -- prefer as a surname

Diego I can't get over the cartoon association.

---

Cisco is just ok to me.

I like Santos best of the 3. It's a nice strong name.

I like Diego and I love Santos.
Cisco is the name of a friend's cat and it's also a company name. Can't say I like it. Would like Francisco if it didn't remind me of Francisco Franco (ugh).

Diego is nice, Cisco nicknamey, Santos seems very stereotypical.
