Hi ladies! Have only just found this board, spent a long time reading through threads, love it!

Don't want to discuss name choices IRL because last time I changed my mind after I saw my DD so am trying to keep choices to myself this time!

We are a mixed Mexican- British family living in a Spanish speaking country. Its important to us that our children's names are easily pronounced in both languages so neither sets of grandparents have to struggle!

We currently have a DD2.5: Amalia. Works well on our criteria and suits her.

Now pregnant with Number 2 and I keep finding names I love then going off them a week later!

Boys name is pretty solid bet for Cristian, but can I have girls suggestions please?

At the moment I have fluctuated between:

Sophia (my favourite and not popular where we live but DD likes the princess show so may be confusing?)
Selena
Elena
Gabriella

Help?

If your granny is called Esther then it could be nice to name your baby after her? It' a lovely name

Elena is lovely too (and Ellie for short?)

What about Kristian spelling for Cristian? Though see you are set on that one.

Selena is also nice (I prefer the spelling Selina)

I was going to ask how Elena would be pronounced...
Ell-enn-ah or Ell-ee-na?

sausage

Depends on your accent, tbh.

I can think of at least 5 possible pronunciations and I'm sure there are more.
