Girls name that work in Spain and England

[karmachameleon999]

Am looking for girls names that work in Spain and England. I don't like names that can be easily shortened or likely to have a nickname. Prefer shorter names, as given name.

I like:
Sofia but it's quite popular
Lucia but worried it will be pronounced Loo-chee-ah rather than Loo-see-ah.
Athena which I know is Greek and not sure if it works in Spain.
Alba but doesn't work with surname.

Thank you.

Lara
Ana
Elena
Isla
Luna

I love Ines. But there are three at our primary school that I know of and they are all European bilingual. It must work everywhere.

Most of what people are posting are pronounced differently in English and Spanish. Many others unfortunately will be comical if you anticipate your daughter actually spending time in Spain.
Current small girls’ names I’ve recently heard in use in Spain (irrespective of origin):
Nora, Noa, Valentina, Mia, Luna, Lua, Martina, Leire, Daniela, Valeria, Aina, Mariona, Ona, Elia, Irati, Clara, Vera, Gala, Alma, Ariana, Jana.

On the Spanish side of my family, we've got:

• Alba
• Lorena (love)
• Suzi
• Maria
• Lola
• Lolly
• Nicole

That's off the top of my head, it's a big family!

I think Rosa or Ana would be lovely.

Isabel would I think be the Spanish spelling; and I came to suggest this; I love it, and I have one 💕

My English friend lives in Spain & her daughter is called Nadia

Veronica. It would take an accent on the o in Spanish, and I can't work out how to do that here, but you get the idea.
I'm pretty sure Ines also needs an accent on the e in Spanish. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

Natalia (not short, I realise)

Paola is a beautiful name. My colleague with that name doesn't seem to have issues with people pronouncing it.

Luna, Rosa, Isabella? DS has a Cuban friend called Caroline.

There's a really funny meme on this at the moment with Latina mums explaining the meaning of their kids names like 'Dolores, Socorro, Consuelo' etc

Maura.

I know quite a few Spanish people and I love their names:

Rosa
Maria
Elena
Amanda
Carmen

Some from our family:
Luz
Aurora
Iris

They are not pronounced exactly the same though.

Alma? Rosa?
