Girls' names which work in English and Spanish

I'm struggling so much with thinking of a name for a girl! We had both a name and middle name picked out for a boy, but I'm drawing a blank with a name for a girl. Nothing too traditional, and it has to sound good in English and Spanish because my partner is Peruvian! Does anyone have any ideas??

Alba makes me think of the Duchess of Alba. Look her up...

Alma means soul in Spanish, I know one, she has one Spanish parent, one English.

Alba means Dawn in Spanish. As does Aurora.

Thaere's a Spanish beautiful song about Aurora...in my head now. It was a hit in Spain in the early 80s.
