Our daughter's name works, but might be too simple for your taste: Alba. Mateo is a great name!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/englishspanish-names#post-2379281 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 11:35:53 +0000 teawithpaloma 2379281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name in real life is Paloma and I grew up in an English speaking area only and I love my name!!

Such a fun name. She also loved Mateo when she was pregnant with him, and Gabriel. </p> <p>I love the choices you have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/englishspanish-names#post-2328941 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:27:37 +0000 Alba4 2328941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gabriel<br /> Daniel<br /> David<br /> Julian</p> <p>Girl names are harder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/englishspanish-names#post-2328815 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:29:13 +0000 rosegold 2328815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: fun! you'll have to fill us in when lo arrives. 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/englishspanish-names#post-2328806 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:26:15 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2328806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rosegold: DH is Colombian and his entire family still lives there - thus the need for easy pronunciation in both languages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/englishspanish-names#post-2328798 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:24:31 +0000 rosegold 2328798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also into Patricia for a long time and Rose.

I love the finalists you have too.

My boys are named Gabriel and Leonardo - Gabe and Leo. Other boy names I like are Samuel and Christian. Can't help much on the girl names - all the ones I like end in a or likely top 10 - Victoria, Cecilia, Olivia, Isabel. My name is Anabel and would fit the criteria! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/englishspanish-names#post-2327854 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 20:20:36 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2327854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I need some suggestions, please.</p> <p>We are team green and are having a really hard time agreeing on names for LO2. Current favorites are Lucas and Mateo for a boy, and Penelope and Vivien for a girl. LO1's name rhymes with Bedelia.</p> <p>Our criteria is that the name has to work in both English and Spanish so that neither family has problems with pronunciation and I would prefer it not to be a top 10 name or end with an -a sound.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
