Baby will be British but spend a fair amount of their childhood in Spain.

I'm looking for the perfect combination of a name which is pronounced more or less the same in both languages, and doesn't scream "foreign" in either country! And that isn't in the top 50. DS is Albert which works well as even though Alberto is Spanish, Albert is Catalan so everyone knows it.

So far I have these, but I'm not really sold on them, they just feel a bit compromisey:

Girls:
Clara
Penelope
Isabel

Boys:
Daniel
Oliver
Oscar

Thank you.

I don't know if it's a regional accent thing, but Ben definitely wasn't good where we used to live (endless 'Ven aquí' jokes).

Rosalie is pretty, if you don't like Rosa, and I think would come out ok in Spanish.
