girl names that work in English and Spanish but don’t end in “a”

[sekinpetr]

I have a long list of girl names that work in both English and Spanish, but almost all of them end in “a.” Like, Clara, Marina, Juliana, Luisa, etc. I’m looking for name suggestions with a different sound, such as Nieves or Marisol (although probably both of those would be hard for some English speakers). Thanks!

Irene

Isabel

Carmen

Penelope (Cruz)

Ines
Carmen
Beatriz
Pilar
Sol
Isabel
Rocio

I like Ines; I think it’s Spanish

Beatriz
Irene as pp suggested
Lirios
Iris
Raquel

Ingrid
Mar
Izaskun (my favourite Basque girl's name).

obsessed with Pilar and Penelope

Zoé

Mirabel

Just came on to say this!

As well as Marisol.

Sorry, just reread the OP properly and saw Marisol was already mentioned. Think it has a beautiful meaning (sea and sun) and should be easy enough to pronounce by Brits.

I’m not sure, one of the characters in our Spanish textbooks at secondary school was called Belen and all the boys used to find it hilarious 🙄 this was over twenty years ago though.

Yeah careful with Bellen … rather close to bell end in English and kids are awful with these things.
