They’re looking for names that work in Spanish, and something with a literary tie-in would be ideal. The big challenge: they’re hoping to avoid another name ending with -a, which knocks out a LOT of obvious English/Spanish crossovers.
More details + my suggestions here, but would love to get your take. (And if you’re a native Spanish speaker, your thoughts on pronunciation, too!)
This is [name_f]Becca[/name_f] - I love [name_u]Carmen[/name_u], and it would be a grandmother’s name. However, it was also the Venezuelan grandmother’s name and is Sofia’s middle name.
I also love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], but I have a first cousin named [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. We don’t see them particularly often, would it be weird to repeat a cousin’s name?
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] has been on my (long) list since we started trying to name this girl. [name_f]My[/name_f] two nephews have names that start with R (Renato and Roman). We live close and see them often. Is [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] (probably called Rosie) too similar?
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] seems like it would fit greatly with their style.
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] - [name_f]Arielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
