Boy names that travel well

Hi! I am 28 weeks pregnant and DH and I still have not made a decision on our baby boy’s name. Looking for a name that would travel well between the countries we are from and also where we live. Husband is Russian, I am Hispanic and we live in US. It seems that every time we like a name it doesn’t work in one of the languages. Our 2 yo is named Alexander, mainly goes by Alex. Looking for something similar. The name Leonardo (Leo) has crossed our mind several times. Do you have any suggestions?

Ivan and Valentin seem to be used in a lot of countries. Otherwise many Latin/Greek origin names seem to work cross- culturally (like Leo as you mentioned), Lucas, Felix, Max(imilian), Sebastian etc. Or Biblical ones like Adam, Elias, Samuel, Gabriel etc.
