Help with mixed race baby names

I am Brazilian and my husband is Indian so we are looking for good sources to find mixed race baby names across those cultures.

Also if you have any ideas that would be a huge help.

Choosing names that work in two languages/cultures is really tough.
I never managed to find websites etc that helped with it, I just went through names from both sides to find some that met in the middle.

Does Jay work as a Brazilian name?
I know two British/Indian couples who have sons called Jay.

I know it's really tough, thanks for the tip.

We were thinking Jayden for a boy actually, but girls names are even harder! Lol We don't know what we're having yet.

That's interesting.
In our case (English/Japanese) girls' names were less of a problem than boys'.
It'll take some time, but I'm sure you'll find something you both love that works in both languages eventually.
I still think how happy I am to have named our children as we did.
