    Yes, Hector was used as an English 'equivalent' for Eachdann. I suspect many of the historical Highlanders with the name Hector were actually named Eachdann. It was a common occurrence in those days. (Daniel for Dòmhnall, Ann for Áine, etc.) Incidentally, the actual Gaelic form of Hector is Eachtar (pronounced EKHT-ER). Good luck with the citizenship.

    Hector has character. So much more than many "American" names. We have Cera (Sara), Brighid, Somya & Seamus. It is a good choice.
    Congratulations!

    First, congratulations on the naturalization. It's a long slog but worth it. (I am just about to start the very long journey.)

    Second, I think Hector Young sounds very good. Maybe you could use Huidobro as a middle name?
