Multicultural/International Names

I am looking for baby names that would be easy to say in any language specifically Hispanic and English.

These are names that I love right now to get a sense of my style:

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] nn [name_u]Mattie[/name_u]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] nn [name_f]Evey[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]

I looked at names popular in Puerto [name_m]Rico[/name_m], because they’re Spanish speakers, but it’s part of the US so obviously there’s a heavy English name influence. Here’s some I think you might like.

[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Adriana[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonella[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]

[name_m]Mateo[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Francisco[/name_m]

I would not use [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] if you want a name that travels well. The ‘th’ sound is really rare, which is why other European languages have ‘[name_f]Marta[/name_f]’ and ‘[name_m]Teodor[/name_m]’. It’s present in Castilian Spanish but not Latin American Spanish. I wouldn’t use [name_f]Isla[/name_f] if you want it pronounced ‘[name_f]Ayla[/name_f]’ because it’s a Spanish word that’s not pronounced like that.

From your list, I think [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] are great choices.

Your list is lovely! From your list, the names that I find would cross between languages best are [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. One suggestion: Perhaps the [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] spelling? I agree with the previous poster about [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], because the “-th” sound doesn’t often travel between langauges. I am from the Southwestern United States, in an area where English and Spanish are spoken relatively evenly, and am fluent in English and proficient in Spanish.

[name_f]Maren[/name_f]/[name_f]Marin[/name_f]: This was one of my first thoughts for you. It is simple and easily pronounceable in many languages, and reminds me of the [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] on your list while being very tailored like [name_f]Ada[/name_f]. Beautiful, unusual, but recognizable.
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]: This is an elegant, lovely name, like [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], that is popular for a reason. It also has the length and flow of [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]: One of the ultimate cross-cultural classics. It has a nature connection, like [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], some of the sounds of [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], and the “v” of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. It is another one of those names in the familiar-but-far-from-ubiquitous category that I think suits you best.
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f]: Once again, a very cross-cultural name and an alternative to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f]. It is very evocative and serene, but does pack lots of substance.
[name_f]Adelina[/name_f]: This criminally-underused stunner of a name is just as feminine as [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and has many of the sounds of [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. With the rise of the “[name_u]Adel[/name_u]-” names, particularly [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], it feels current but not trendy and is easily pronounced in English and Spanish.
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u]: This might just be the ultimate English-Spanish name. It is simple to pronounce syllabically in both languages, and is regarded as a classic. It is tailored yet feminine like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and has many of the sounds of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u].
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]: With the popularity of of [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], this name is recognizable and easily pronounced in English while being of Spanish origin. It reminds me of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]/[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]: These names have a lot of sweetness, like [name_f]Olive[/name_f], and [name_u]June[/name_u], but also length like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]/[name_f]Lola[/name_f]: Both of these names are sweet, simple, and tailored, just like [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], and [name_u]June[/name_u]. They are easily pronounced just about anywhere in the world, and are vintage without being outdated. Two other ideas: [name_f]Gina[/name_f] and the bright, gorgeous [name_f]Gemma[/name_f].
[name_f]Julietta[/name_f]: With the rise of [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], this Spanish classic adds subtle flair. It reminds me of [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] in terms of elegance and spunk. Two similar ideas: [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] and [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f].
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]: [name_u]Bright[/name_u], short, elegant, and lovely, and popular but not overused. Two other ideas in the same vein: [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Mila[/name_f].

As I’m not a native English speaker I feel particularly qualified to answer this haha… my perspective is based on what I know of Indo-European languages and popularity statistics in Europe and different non-native accents in English.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - Looks confusing, but once you know how it’s pronounced I think most people can quite easily manage.
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] nn [name_u]Mattie[/name_u] - ‘th’ is perhaps the most difficult sound to produce for non-native English speakers, while as a pp said Castilian Spanish speakers will absolutely nail this sound even though most Spanish [name_f]Martha[/name_f]'s I believe are called [name_f]Marta[/name_f] with a clear ‘t’ sound, this is not a given for many others.
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] - Quite English/[name_m]French[/name_m]-ish in terms of style, so in that sense not truly multicultural, but like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] once you know how you’re expected to pronounce it, it’s quite easy.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] nn [name_f]Evey[/name_f] - This name confuses me more than it probably should, I believe even within Anglophone countries there are discussions as to how it’s supposed to be pronounced. Other than that the likes of [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] and [name_f]Evelina[/name_f] are fairly multicultural.
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Margot[/name_f] - This is one of those names for which most languages have their own alternatives, so in this form it’s very very English, not the most difficult to pronounce but maybe not as multicultural as you would like
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] - As I said before, ‘th’ is a challenge, but ‘th’ at the end of a word or name is impossible for many. I’ve been told I don’t really have an audible non-native accent when speaking English, but on my ‘bad English days’ this name is impossible for me too.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - Very easy once you know, very very very confusing on paper, and I believe it’s also the Spanish word for ‘island’?
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] - This one works well in many Indo-European languages.
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - Might be even safer with an ‘f’ instead of ‘ph’, but it’s one of the most recognisable ones.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] - Very easy, very multicultural.
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - Once again, I think this works well in many/most Indo-European languages
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - word name, [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] works a charm, this might not.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - Could work, if you’re willing to accept vastly different pronunciations.
[name_u]June[/name_u] - On a ‘bad English day’ this is Joon to me, and for many others. The different type of ‘oo’ sounds in English are really quite challenging to distinguish and many non-native speakers don’t detect the difference and therefore also won’t pronounce/can’t pronounce this name as you might like. Otherwise it’s actually quite easy and straight forward.
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - Very multicultural, especially if you spell it with an ‘f’
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s clearly English, it is quite easy to pronounce.

[name_u]August[/name_u] - This is quite international once you accept the different pronunciations.
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] - Pretty international
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] - Despite its being Celtic and therefore somewhat tied to Anglophone countries, I think this might be pretty doable actually but it’s not truly international.
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] - It’s apparently popular in [name_f]France[/name_f] these days, but I don’t think they pronounce it the way they would in English, it’s that ‘th’ again…
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m] - Expect different pronunciations otherwise you’re good to go with this one.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - This is very international in that it is one of the most trendy names in different European countries at the moment if recent statistics are anything to go by, but do expect different pronunciations.
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - I think this name works suprisingly well across different European countries
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - Actually quite trendy in several countries in Europe as well, but there’s the ‘th’ again so once again you can expect the hard T sound rather than ‘Th’.
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] - Works well, but do expect different pronunciations.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - I think this one works well too.
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] - I always struggle a bit with this name, basically the ‘rls’ sound is a challenge because it requires a different ‘r’ than I am used to and a different ‘s’ than I am used to, which actually borders on an ‘sh’ sound to many Anglophone ears.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - Quite international, or well European, if you accept different pronunciations.

Many of the more international names that feature on many popularity statistics in countries where an Indo-European language is spoken or predominant have been around for centuries basically so some might be a bit stale. In my recent random survey of different popularity statistics in Europe, these names were going around quite a lot: [name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lara[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Alina[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Ruben[/name_m], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Sara[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f], [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_m]Matthias[/name_m]/[name_m]Mathis[/name_m]/[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] etc. etc., [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f]…
