Hi... I'm very early, only 10+4 but petrified of first scan and something being wrong. I can't cruise the pregnancy board anymore as too many things to worry about in there so thought I would come here... Seems a lot more fun and positive which is where I need my head to be right now! So, we are English mum and Spanish dad, living in UK but lots of family back in Spain. Name could be either English or Spanish origen but it needs to "work" in both places - e.g. Can't be something that in Spain they would read and wonder how the hell you pronounce it and vice versa. Ideally also can't end in "ía" like Sofía or Lucía (although I love both of those) as surname also ends in that sound! Any thoughts?

Arturo is sweet! And Elsa... Perhaps kids will be over Frozen by the time our kid starts school?!
Haha ofitick that's actually prett funny!
Amaia is very pretty but have a friend who's baby is named that!
Not too keen on the other basque names...
Kinda like Ines but feels more like a boys name?! Ineista?! Haha
Isadora is pretty but would she be Dora the explora?
Elena is actually growing on me!
But again, my list of girls names keeps getting longer... And boys name list stays the same!

Letice/Leticia/Letizia

I know it's the current Spanish Queen's name (maybe check how royalist your in laws are first!), but it's also an unusual old English name

Rosalie (Spanish family can nickname to Rosa, can use any rose based name really)

Daniel works well in both countries, and is fairly unusual here amongst children under 10.

My son is called Xavier Loris ......Spanish ancestry on my mother's side. Pronounced Zay-vee-er. It's a beautiful name and he loves it 😊
