Spanglish Baby Names - Help !!

Postby JoGreen » Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:26 pm

We have baby No.2 on the way, and need some help with names....
Firstly, no ideas of the sex, but we wouldappreciate some ideas of names that would be both pronounceable and not too weird in either language or culture. Not that we have any plans to return to the UK, but we would not wish to chose a Spanish name that stood out too much in the UK, but likewise, not wish to choose a British name that stood out too much in Spain.

Any ideas would be gratefully received....

Its a very short shortlist !

Girls : Lucia, Sofia, Antonia ( My Other Half is pushing for Ophelia, Aurora, Alegra, Electra )

(We hadn't decided a name in advance last time and he named Aurelia whislt I was semi-concious and recovering from giving birth, fortunately I quite like it ! )

Boys : I have no idea : He wants Marius, Lucius, Cassius (Cas)

.... as you can imagine, I need some help here !

... Do you think that may have anything to do with the fact that you are my other half ... ?

Aurelia is a lovely name - very unusual, I can imagine you are finding it hard to find another name to complement it.
