My sister is having twins, a boy and a girl. She married a Spaniard who's last name is Matamoros (mah-tah-mow-rows). We've been talking about first and middle names for a while but we seem to freeze and can't come up with anything. We've also looked online but they're not so nice and very old fashioned, so they'd be hard to pronounce here in the States.
She's seven months along, so we have a good two months left to figure it out. But it'd be great if you guys could help us!
Thank you!
PS. no Diego (dad's name), Guillermo (grandfather), Maria (grandmother).

I have a Mateo and get complimented on his name all.the.time. LOVE his name soooo much!!! I also have a Lucas (LOVE that name too) - not so much hispanic, but my IL's call him Luca (not that I like it, but it's an option) We have also considered the names Benicio and Leonardo (Leo). If I ever have a girl, I'm naming her Theresa. Middle names we used Enrique, Miguel and we will use Marie (possibly Diane/Diana).

UPDATE!
First off, my sister and I would like to thank all of you for your great help.
Second, we've narrowed it down to these options:
For the girl- Isabella Sofia, or Luciana Elena.
For the boy- Mateo Felipe, or Nicolas Esteban.
We still have some work to do, which is the hardest part, choosing one for each.
What do you girls think about these options? Give us your opinions, please!
