"Tender Hearts" in Spanish?

Question

I am in a group which goes to nursing homes and retirement homes to encourage, entertain, and pray with older people. Our name in English is "Tender Hearts". What would be the best way to phrase our name in Spanish?

Answer 1

I'm having a hard time deciding what form of tierno= tender I would use for something like this.

Corazones tiernos (Tiernos Corazones)is the literal translation and it probably is ok, but if I were a member of this group and being a man as I am, I wouldn't want to be seen with them.

The only synonym of tierno that I like (this is personal you know) is dulce. Still sounds girlie but is better than tierno.

I like the way it sounds in both singular and plural forms.

"Dulces Corazones"

"Dulce Corazón" --- This one I like the best of the two.

(Of course it's a matter of personal taste)

Ok, mine was loving hearts, and yours is sweet hearts. jejeje. It's all a matter of perspective I suppose. - Goyo, Nov 22, 2009

Yeah but in Spanish dulce sounds less girlie than sweet sounds in English. - 0068e2f4, Nov 22, 2009

Tierno and Tender both sound the same...girlie. - 0068e2f4, Nov 22, 2009

Answer 2

I would go with Los Cariñosos Corazones.

Remember the ñ requires the tilde, and is pronounced like "ny".

Corazones is 3 syllables, with the accent on the 2nd.

Answer 3

corazon tierno

They wanted plural. Corazones Tiernos. - Goyo, Nov 22, 2009
