Vowel-heavy international names

Girl Names
1

Looking for names with a soft sound that are pronounced EXACTLY the same in [name_f]English[/name_f] and Spanish. Therefore, will probably need to avoid letters like J, R, Z, H, I….for example, [name_f]Zoé[/name_f] wouldn’t work since it’s (so-AY) in Spanish and (ZO- ee) in [name_f]English[/name_f]. I’m ok with popular names but [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is a bit too on the nose.

Names that WON’T work (pronunciation-wise or just already exists in the family) -

  • Elena/Eliana
  • [name_f]Alana[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Camila[/name_f]
  • Ava/Eva
  • [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Ana[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Ella[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Mia[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Leah[/name_f]

Some that would work but I’m not sure about:

  • Amaya/Anaya
  • [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Aliya[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (pronounced the same in both but spelling might throw off Spanish speakers)
  • [name_f]Sofía[/name_f]
  • Lucy/Lucia

I like these but the majority won’t work due to the R sound :frowning:

[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Gisela[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]

[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]

There are some slight differences in vowel sounds here (especially with the [name_f]English[/name_f] habit of making final As an “uh” sound) but I’d say they’re almost identical:

[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Noemi[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daniela[/name_f]
[name_f]Malia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Adela[/name_f]
[name_f]Martina[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f]
[name_f]Noa[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Fatima[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayana[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
