I guess so (that is what many of his friends called him). I have no idea what that link is - but it warms the cockles, I tell you, if this means my dear grandfather's name is making a comeback!
When considering names for our kids, I would go to those "names" sites and get ideas. I would look up Baldomero to see what it meant, how popular, etc. and even the Spanish-speaking sites didn't always have the name. My uncle said it's the Spanish form of Vladimir, but I have not found independent verification of that.
He (my uncle) is most likely full of shit.
