Heeelllllp!

Baby girl due imminently - we are really stumped for names!
Our son is nearly 3, his name is Rafael. My husband is Portuguese, I think we would prefer a name that works in both cultures but at this stage am desperate for any ideas!

Possibly too much Love Actually but I really like Aurelia (would never work for me and my husband but as your husband is Portuguese it'd be fine)

How about:
Elise
Lara
Melina
Camila

My other half is also Portuguese and we had Ana picked as a girl's name (we however had a boy!)

Also love the previous suggestions of Aurelia.

Upcominggames · 14/11/2021 08:11

Thanks for the suggestions! I too love Aurelia, but DH not keen.

I was thinking about Gabriel if this baby was a boy - but worried the 2 names together are a bit biblical? Gabriella could work, but the nickname Gabi puts me off a bit.

I should say, I adore the name Clara but it has been used by a close family member so have ruled it out

Ooh I love Rafael.
Apologies for any repeats but if I had a Rafael I'd be choosing between:
Camilla
Cecily/Cecilia
Constance
Beatrice
Elspeth
Felicity
Hester
Miranda
Tabitha
Susannah/Zanna

Skeumorph · 14/11/2021 09:34

The simplest - Anna/Ana. Absolutely classic.

SleafordSods · 14/11/2021 09:37

I quite like Elea or Hannah and I think both would work in either language.

Also like Francisca and Ana, but think the spelling corrections would be irritating.
