girl names that work in English and Spanish but don’t end in “a”

I have a long list of girl names that work in both English and Spanish, but almost all of them end in “a.” Like, Clara, Marina, Juliana, Luisa, etc. I’m looking for name suggestions with a different sound, such as Nieves or Marisol (although probably both of those would be hard for some English speakers). Thanks!

Sorry, just reread the OP properly and saw Marisol was already mentioned. Think it has a beautiful meaning (sea and sun) and should be easy enough to pronounce by Brits.
