[name_m]Hi[/name_m] All!

My wife is expecting, but we still don’t no the sex. We are having trouble in agreeing on the name because it has to sound good in Portuguese and English.

So far the top three is:

Girl:

1 - [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Beatriz[/name_f]
2 - [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Catarina[/name_f]
3 - [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

Boy:

1 - [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
2 - [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
3 - [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Antony[/name_m]

Any thoughts?

From your list, my favorites are [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Beatriz[/name_f]. If I could mix, I would say [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Catarina[/name_f] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. I wouldn’t use [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] together - [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is the Spanish/Italian version of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and they are too similar imo.

I don’t know if you want suggestions, but I added some below:

[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Thiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Tomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicolas[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]

[name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rafaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Emanuela[/name_f]
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Camila[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]

Good luck!

I would say that the girl names are all fine and sound like a nice confluence of cultures, especially [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Beatriz[/name_f]. The boy names, while fine as combos, lean quite heavily to the English side.
