Spanish/English boy name

My husband and I cannot agree on a boy name! We both are Mexican, with parents who do not dominate the English language well, so we want a name that they can pronounce easily, but the name needs to be easily pronounced in English as well. HELP!!! Any ideas welcomed!!!

  • Hey lovely, I am Canadian and my hubby is Mexican, we have 2 boys one is Ollivier (we pronounce the r) and the other is Cristiano. If we have a girl this time around we are naming her katarina Aida. But we are in the same boat now as you, we have no boy names we can think of, And there is NO WAY I am naming it after my husband ernesto as people out here will associate the name Ernest which most likely would give him problems in school.
  • Oscar
    Mateo
    Javier (because Javi is adorable)
    Leonardo (Leo)
  • Diego
    Gabriel (one of my favs)
    Lucas (Luke)
    Rafael (Rafi)
    Caleb
    Tiago
  • That's a treaky one. Because names usually have a very different pronunciation in both language so they don't really sound the same. Names like Gabriel which is lovely, sound like two different names in each language.
    These are the ones I could think of that sound the same or almost the same in both languages.

    *Alexander *Jeremy *Noah *Dylan *Chistopher *Erick

    I'm sure there are more, just these came to mind. Hope it helps

    I'm Mexican and hubby is Canadian. For a boy I'd like Jonathan or Gabriel
  • My nephew's name is Josue or he could go by Josh in Canada.
  • Or I should say North America as most of you are actually from the U.S. Lol!!
  • Or perhaps I should stop sticking my foot in my mouth and say English... As Mexico is also in North America AHHHHH.... Baby brain?
