Which name combination?

Narrowed my lists down...
Currently live in UK but planning a move to Spain or Canary Islands.
Sibling has a top 5 boys name.
Which do you prefer and why?

Boys: Hugo Jacob or Jacob Rosco
Girls: Sofia Madison, Sofia Eloise or Lucia Summer

Love Madison as it's linked to Matilda (similar meanings), a name I was going to use if my son had been a girl. Now can't use. Eloise reminds me a lovely baby I looked after. Then I just love Lucia Summer together as Summer is a favourite name but don't think it's sturdy enough for a first name.

Although I prefer names that cannot be shortened, as a guilty pleasure do love Esmeralda shortened to Esme but not sure Mumsnet will be in favour!

Be aware that J is pronounced as 'y' in most Latin countries so Jacob will sound like 'Yaccob' when said locally in your future home area.

Lucia Summer is lovely and I adore the name Hugo!

Roscoe as a first name! Love it.

Roscoe Jacob is great.

Hugo will be Oo-go in Spain, Jacob will be Hack-ob, Lucia will be Looth-ee-a.

Lovely names! I love Jacob Rosco and Sofia Eloise. I also really like Sofia Madison and Lucia Summer. I’m less keen on Hugo, personally.

(I also love Esme but not keen on Esmerelda, sorry!)

Sofia Eloise

@WhatThenEh unfortunately I don't like Matt. And there's some Matthew's in the family so wouldn't really work. But thank you.

@Moreteaandchocolate Thank you. I think Jacob Rosco and Sofia Eloise are the top names at the moment. With Lucia Summer in reserve.

@DuchessOfSausage Lucia is actually pronounced loo-see-ah in Spain. In Italy they use the chee-ah pronunciation.

I'm aware Jacob may be pronounced differently. But it's a name I've loved for absolute years and I think I would regret not using it. Didn't use for my first son as got talked out of it. So definitely need to use this time around.

Definitely loo thea for Lucia in the south.

Lucia Summer is lovely and I adore the name Hugo!

J is pronounced like H in Spanish so he'd be Hacob.
