Diego is predominantly a male name in the United States, reaching peak popularity in the 2000s. There are approximately 120,000 people named Diego in the US today.
The name Diego's root letters are DG.
When the dominant, durable and dignified letter D teams up with the gregarious, gracious and genial letter G, it creates a set of names that embodies the unyielding masculine qualities found in the words: badger, dagger, cudgel, budge, dignity, dogged, dogmatic, handgun, and prodigious. These are people who are easily recognized by their steadfastly moral behavior and who manage to retain their dignified tough-guy images under the most extreme of circumstances. Those whose names are terminated by the emotionally expressive letter O (like Diego) tend to be more personable and approachable.
If Diegos were animals, they’d be wild dogs; friendly and sociable when relaxed, persistent and resolute when on the hunt. And like their canine counterparts, Diegos do best in careers in which they can utilize their highly effective social skills as a team leader, or simply a member of the pack.
Although DG individuals have strong creative streaks, they are more apt to express themselves though some form of physical activity. Many Diegos make a living with their hands; and whether they’re mechanics, chefs, builders, or sculptors, will never fail to color their creations with their distinctive DG style. But when Diegos aren’t at work, chances are they’re in a local dive bar watching the game over a pint with his core group of fellow hounds.
If you’re in love with a DG – and he’s in love with you -- you can look forward to a solid partnership from an uncommonly attentive mate. You may have to put up with a few hare-brained ideas (like that rocket launcher he’s building in the back yard), but life with the DG is almost always going to be emotionally stable. They love the inquisitive minds of children, and in some respects, having a DG around is like having a very large child. Not that he’s immature of course; it’s just a reflection of his prodigious imagination and boundless energy.
If you’ve ever mothered, partnered or married a DG, you’ll know how sensitive he can be… even an accidental slight to his ego can put him in a funk for days. And once you’ve lit the eternal flame in a DG’s heart, you may as well burn all those old prom pictures and forget you ever had other relationships, for he’s going to want you all to himself. But if he’s a little possessive, it’s just his way of letting you know how special you are to him. Don’t be surprised when he comes up with something completely unexpected: even if he’s a little clumsy on occasion, he’ll never stop trying to impress you.
