We need a name that works in English, Spanish and Russian. Currently we like Lucas and Sebastian. Any other ideas?

In Russian Sasha is short for Alexander, so wouldn’t work for us… names starting with S don’t work in Spanish, also, unfortunately, as I liked Stefan.

Sasha? Not sure if that works in Spanish though!

Daniel, David and Leo all “no”s from DH. Love Leo but too popular for me…

Will raise Isaac, Adam and Victor - thanks. Maxim is a no as well.

I love Sebastian!

Would Maxim, David or Isaac / Isaak work?

Love Alexander and Nicholas / Nikolai but can’t use for family reasons. I like Anton a lot but DH doesn’t. Seems hard to find ones that work in Russian in particular but sound natural also in English.
