General Name Discussion

Hello Berries,
Sorry for the length…

So here is the backstory:
Someone has brought to my attention that they would like me to possibly adopt their baby. (There are some things about the backstory that I do not feel comfortable or needed to disclose). She has given me first options to select the child’s name and I would like to have a list of names, so she can at least help in the process. She does not know the gender of the baby, so I will need help with both genders. Also, there is also a possibility the baby will be bi-cultural (Half African-American and Half Hispanic), so I would also like some suggestions that could fit well with both, yet not limited to. It’s not set in stone, so I guess it could be a bit hypothetical, but just in case I get that phone call, I want to ready and not in a rush to give the first name that pops in my head and regret it later.
The only names I could think of are: [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] ([name_m]Matteo[/name_m]) and [name_u]Kai[/name_u] (feels to short). I have nothing for girls. Only female name I can think of is Chloe, but I wouldn’t use it because of the popularity.[name_m]Mateo[/name_m] forcibly staying in the first row, but I would like to at least have other options. Sometimes a name does not fit a child, you know?

{Thanks for the tip Daphodil, I deleted it and now hopefully people will suggest more and I can sort through the names I like and don’t like.}

I would love to read your suggestions and I ask that you please be patient with me. Thank you.

I like [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]. I actually know a little girl named [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], they call her [name_u]Andy[/name_u] for short.

Thank you; any one else please?

I think the reason why you’re not getting replies is because you have so many conditions. I’m assuming you live in the US, so I’ll try to consider the popularity stats there.
