My husband is Cuban/Mexican and his family is Spanish speaking and my family is not. Finding children’s names that are both easy to pronounce in both languages and not to out there or trendy is tough! So when we had our first child and we named her [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], it was perfect! But now we are thinking about baby number two and its way harder!
Help me find a happy medium, nothing too Spanish or too American and it has to compliment [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].

I really love [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. I think the suggestion of [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is great too. Another idea is [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f].
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] and [name_m]Emilio[/name_m] are great. My half Mexican girls are [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] and [name_f]Kiana[/name_f].
Some names for girls:
[name_f]Raquel[/name_f], [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], [name_f]Veronica[/name_f], [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f], [name_f]Melanie[/name_f], [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], [name_f]Maribel[/name_f], [name_f]Anabel[/name_f], [name_f]Gabriela[/name_f]
For boys:
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], [name_m]Kevin[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_m]Carlos[/name_m], [name_m]Miguel[/name_m], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m], [name_m]Byran[/name_m], [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_m]Diego[/name_m], [name_u]Alex[/name_u]/[name_m]Alejandro[/name_m]
I had the same issue when I named my first. My ex had mostly Spanish soeaking family. We named our daughter [name_f]Lila[/name_f] (leela) [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] both names can be said almost identically in Spanish and English. [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] is a great choice. [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] is not its said totally differently in Spanish. What about
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f]
What about [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] for a boy and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] for a girl.
Thank you for all your suggestions! There are some very good ones in there and I [i]love[/I] [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but my name is [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], and it’s just too close
