Bicultural names?

Dancer6978

Who is using a first name from one culture/language and a middle from a completely unrelated culture/language?  This is what we're doing (traditional Irish first, modern Hebrew middle) for our little boy, to honor both heritages.  If you have an obviously bicultural name picked out, would you please share? I think it's so interesting to hear what others are doing.

I didn't name DD a bicultural name but I always got a kick out of the fact that my first name was French and my middle name was Greek while my family was Scottish and English as far as we knew anyway.?

All of my uncles (except for the jr.) have bicultural names. My grandmother is from the Phillipines and my grandfather is American.

We don't have a boy's name picked out yet, but I'm Jewish and DH is Italian.  I like the names Ari and Ilan.  He likes Salvador, Gino, Marco.

My name is Aviva Rose.  I realize that the name "Rose" isn't overly "ethinic," but still two different cultural backgrounds.  People have always complimented me on my name.  I think as long as your names sound good together/flow, I wouldn't worry about being bicultural.

Ditto.

DS is Lukas Edward. DH is from Sweden so most likely, all of our DC's will have Swedish names, or at least names that are common in Sweden. Edward is after my father, who is Irish.

The next DS will most likely be Alexander Flynn (Swedish/European first name and Irish surname/family name for middle name.)

My DS is Nikolas Ronald, but we call him Niko.  DH is Greek, so Niko is named after FIL.  Ronald is after my late father.  If we are blessed with more children, I hope to follow suit and have the first name Greek and the middle an American name.
