Hi! I know I’m searching for a unicorn but husband and I are looking for a boy name to suit both of our tastes: I like classy, elegant, sophisticated names. He wants one that is easily known in English and Spanish.
Unfortunately, many like Adrian/Adrián are take by family members. Our older son is Julian/Julián. Spelling and pronunciation differences aren’t important, just as long as it has a version in both languages! Thank you for your help!

I would like to second [name_u]Elias[/name_u] !
I’m sure these have been mentioned but Oscar, Hugo and Sebastian came to mind immediately. They fit both the sophisticated element and the cross-cultural one (to me at least). Some other ideas that I think (?) work:
Lucien
Elio
Theodore
Felix
Miro
Raphael

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m]

[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
I second the suggestion of any names that I’ll repeat:
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] / [name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Rafael[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u] & [name_u]Daniel[/name_u]
Maybe @UnderTheRainbow has some more suggestions / a different take on what can be considered classic in Spanish?!
your list is lovely and I’d considered all those names classic. I really like Óscar, Nicolás and [name_m]David[/name_m] with [name_m]Julián[/name_m].
I’d add:
