Spanish/English names

My husbands family is Hispanic and I am white. We need to find a name that sounds good in both English and Spanish. We do not know what we are having yet so both girl and boy names are needed. Any ideas?!?

    Luciana. Derek. Were the names of my host brother and sister when I was abroad.

    But I suggest the name board, they will be more helpful. :D

    DH and I are Latin American as well, here are a few that we considered. Depending on your preference, some can be spelled in the Latin or American style:

    Girl names:
    Isabel/Isabella
    Sofia/Sophia
    Nicole
    Gabriella

    Boy Names:
    Nicolas
    Gabriel
    Michael
    Lucas
    Daniel

    You will definitely get better answers on the baby name board!

    My SIL is hispanic as well.  All of her kids have a spanish middle name.  For example: Drew Mariano.  Something to consider!

    My hubs is Hispanic. We chose names we like for the first name and the middle is always a family name and the Spanish version of it.

    Nicolas Santiago (DH and his family pushed for him to be Santiago IV. Yeah no. Just no way)

    Nathan Miguel (my dad is Michael)

    Natalie Consuelo (we both have grandmas named consuelo)

    Noah Alejondro (my brother is Alexander and my mom is Alejandra)

    No clue for names for baby #5 that's currently baking. Lol

    My daughter's name is Carolina, which we picked because it worked in both languages (though a lot of people pronounce it like the state...). No good ideas for boys.

    I am in the same position. Hubby is from Central America. His name is Ricardo which tends to work in both languages.

    Mom dad is Peruvian and my mom is white. My dad's best friend growing up was MariaElena, but they called her Malena (rhymes with Elena). I like it, although I don't look like I have any Peruvian in me so people who speak English tend to say "Maleena" and people who speak Spanish don't assume the Spanish pronunciation. So maybe that doesn't work at all! Haha
