Hello!

We’re expecting our second son next year. My first child is called Camilo.We’re looking for Spanish names that work well for English speakers too.

So far we have a few on our list but I’m not sure if it is love!

Mateo
Valentín
Álvaro

Any thoughts or other suggestions are welcome!

Same as you- expecting a boy with my Spanish partner and we need names that are pronounceable in both countries-

Santiago is my favourite at the moment
I also love Mateo, but it's super popular in Spain right now and we will probably be living there in a couple of years

I also like Leo,Pablo, Álvaro (although people here might get prom a bit wrong), Alberto, Alfredo, Antonio,

Initially I wanted I name that was the same in both languages and I like Daniel, Samuel and Isaac of those options

Partner likes Marco, which is actually Italian rather than Spanish, but getting popular there - I think Mateo is actually from the Italian Matteo too and has become popular in Spain recently- Matías is the original Spanish version, I think

Our little boy is Diego Antonio

That’s really lovely, and easy for non-Spanish speakers!
