We're looking for a boy name that would work well in English and Polish. Ideally, I would like it to be pronounced and spelled in a similar way in both languages. Minor differences are ok.

I don't mind if the name is popular. I would like it to sound quite modern and not too unusual/old fashioned in either language.

We like Leon and Artur but we can't use them.

Names on our list:
Albert
Antoni
Filip
Henryk
Kacper
Oskar
Tomasz

I would appreciate your thoughts on my list and any additional suggestions. Thanks!

Love Kacper

There are a few on the link that would work, but I'm not sure if they are actually Polish, and some that might be a bit dated as in hugely popular 20 years but now far less popular.

Using an 'English-friendly' spelling of a Polish name doesn't sit comfortably with me, and if the surname is Polish I'd probably go with a first name that isn't obviously Polish.

Oskar is lovely and works well 😊

From your list, I like Tomasz best, but you'll probably get Thomas.

Kacper is nice but not sure if the c would be a pain.
Oskar and Filip are OK, but will probably get the English spelling.

Tadeusz, Dominik, Dawid?

All are good but I think Oskar works best.
Kacper might be a struggle in English, I would replace the c with an s if you want to use it
