"H" Names in English and Spanish!

yvetteeden

Baby name picking is hard enough but DH and I have a few requirements that make this extra hard!

We're honoring a recently deceased Uncle of his by naming our child a name that starts with 'H', per cultural custom. And, I want to stay true to my Spanish roots with a name you can say in English and Spanish.

So...help! I need 'H' name options you can say in English and Spanish.

Ps. Not finding out the baby's gender! Just bc we really like making things harder!

Henry and Helen

That is really hard finding H names that can be easily pronounced in Spanish. I have an H name. It has always been a problem for Spanish speakers.

Hector?

Slim pickings...Hugo, Hernan, or Humberto and for girls Hortencia or Honor? The best of the bunch are Hernan and Honor. But what about something starting with H without the H sound, like Honora? A little less harsh than Honor, and you could use the nickname Nora. Good luck!

Horatio (love this name!) or Honora.

Helena for a girl.

Hernando for a boy?  Not really an English name though...

Thank you all! I think we're thinking Hugo Aaron or Henry Xander. This way the baby can pick when he's old enough? Idk. This is harder than it should be.

I love love love Hugo! Honora is a lovely suggestion.

Hector, Hugo, Hernán, Hilario, Homero. Helena, Hortensia, Heloisa (a bit of a stretch). To my knowledge, Honor and Honora are not names in Spanish. And I would use the Spanish spelling for 'Horacio' rather than 'Horatio.'

Of your names, I prefer Hugo Aaron because it actually is the same in both languages.

We are also aiming for English/Spanish compatible names so I've given this idea some thought.
