I need help finding a name for our baby #3. We just find out we are having a baby girl but we are finding it challenging to come up with a name that matches my other kids’ names and is also easy to pronounce for spanish speakers since it’s very important for me that my family can pronounce my kid’s names.
Our 4yo twins are [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and Cecilia; we basically like classic, timeless, and elegant names.
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband loves the name [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], and although I like it, I am not entirely convinced because the spelling and the pronunciation are slightly different in Spanish (Rubí).
I worry most names will be pronounced slightly differently, but I tried to find names that are at least spelled the same and don’t have any major differences in pronunciations. I’m curious, do you pronounce [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] the same in both languages?
[name_f]Marietta[/name_f] (pairs super well with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] while still being unique and classic!)
[name_f]Marlena[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] / [name_f]Estella[/name_f]
I LOVE [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] and Elsa!!!
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] has a slightly different pronunciation, but I have found that my family has no problem pronouncing it. Also, we mainly use [name_u]Tommy[/name_u], which is almost identical in both languages.
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] are gorgeous!
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is lovely but I understand your concern - could you ask your family how they’d say it / how they’d feel about saying it as Roo-bee?
Based on your kids’ names and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]:
[name_u]Alba[/name_u]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] (I know the Spanish pn is different, but it sounds similar enough imo?)
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (similar to [name_f]Flora[/name_f], slightly different pn, but not too different imo)
How about [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]?
Based on [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], my first thoughts were [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Teresa[/name_f], and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] are so pretty. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is so cute!! I love that. I second suggestions of [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_f]Marisol[/name_f], and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. Here are some other suggestions, with apologies for any repeats:
