Help!! Need baby names for Spanish Surname??

[HeyMa]

this is my 3rd, hubby's 1st we have Spanish surname so can't think of any names that go....we live in Scotland so obv don't want a totally strange moniker that will bring howls of derision

my other 2 are reuben and jacob so a common thread to them would be nice....my brain is mush this time round so any suggestions greatly appreciated.......

Probably not the best suggestion........
Ines

Anna?
Alexandra?
Lucia?
Sofia?
Julia?
Maria?

Emerson (although I think its Portugese rather than Spanish)

Ruth
Josiah
Gabriel
Gabrielle/a

Elena is so beautiful - nearly went for it with DD but didn't suit her!!
Isabella?
Anna?
Lucia
Francesca
I second Ines, it's very cool
Penelope (A la Cruz!)
Sofia
Emma/Ema

Boys:
Cruz (think Beckhams!!)
Pablo
Pedro
Xavier
Juan
Carlos
Jose
Francisco
Antonio
David
Luis

Are you looking for something Spanish? I grew up with a Spanish surname pretty much no one in my dad's family has a spanish first name - ie Farah, Robert, Frank, Joanne, Lydia, Felicia, Joseph, Rose

If you are looking for something sort of Spanish that still works in English, there's the following:

Anita
Isabel (this is the Spanish spelling - it's actually Spanish for Elizabeth)
Elena
Marta
Ana
Maria
Noelle
Nina
Jacinda
Ramona

I think boys' names are slightly trickier - I love Joaquin, but it's not particularly English friendly.

Felix
Leon
Anton
Rafael
Rio
Elias
Elija

wow thanks ladies some of those names are fab.....i do actually like Inez and Rafael is a family name but thinkning of that as the middle name....

the girls names are pretty which i like and the boys names mostly go with the other 2....oh yeah Joaquuin is a family name too but whilst it's one of the names i love, calling it across a school playground in
fife is another matter.....

only 10 weeks at the minute but so desperately tired all the time....forget it was like this!!

Carmen
Carla

Reuben and Jacob are biblical, so I'd go for something else biblical.

Joachim
Micah
Solomon/Sol
Eli/Elijah
Isaac
Malachi
Gabriel
Samuel
Levi

Yeah i love Levi & Gabriel but DH doesn't

i'm so blonde, of course i love the name Ines/Inez but our surname is Martinez and i didn't click til yesterday

what do you think of Saul/Sol for a boy?

Although I do know a quite young/trendy Australian one, I tend to think old, Jewish man with a thick Brooklyn accent when I hear Sol, sorry! (should mention that I'm American and from NY which is probably why that image pops into my head - probably won't do for most English!)

hi lastbox i kinda see what you mean but Sol Martinez sounds like he could grow up to be a footballer, pref for West Ham (wishful thinking on DH part!)

I love Rocco but with our surname all i can imagine is a porn star!!!!

Anabel/Annabel
Lídia/Lydia
Sílvia/Sylvia
Margo/Margot
Elsa

Felix
Marcus
Leo
Hugo
Bruno
Daniel
Mateo

Richie, Robbie and Charlie al English but sound good with Martinez.

ps, Lydia is a bible name, so if you have a girl that would blend in 'stylistically'

Amara Martinez
Lola Martinez
Sofia Martinez
Xanthia Martinez
Isobel Martinez
Annabel Martinez

Roscoe Martinez
Leon Martinez
Leo Martinez
Gabriel Martinez

roscoe is good, not as porn as rocco methinks....love Sofia but there is a fast food take out in our town called Sofia's people might think we like our kebabs that much keep them coming they're all very nice and none i out and out hate so thank you

Teija tay-a

I think Roscoe is one of those Scottish/Scandinavian names, a bit like Magnus or Kirsten. But the O on the end of it ties in Scotland and Spain (loosely!)

i like oscar too although that's my mate's name.....he'd be made up if i used it...

harder to get any girls names i like but it's acacdemic i guess until we find out...

i like the name Cara so does DH but there's a girl in our town who's a bit of a tail - can i say that? so she's def spoiled it for us!!! btw i live in a small town (as an incomer) where everyone know everyone, you know what it's like, fart outside the co-op byt the time you've reached the butcher's you've pooed your pants!!!!

oSCar works in Spanish too. In fact, he might sound completely Spanish with the name Oscar.

What about Clara?

I know what you mean about your village!! I was brought up in a tiny village. Even on the rare occassions I mistakenly thought somebody was a stranger, they'd mutter, ah, that's one of Beatrice and Fred's children, the youngest, the youngest girl. Stop smoking or I'll tell your mum.

ha ha liffey yes nosieness is universal there will be plenty comments about the name i choose too...when i first moved to town and they heard my son was called reuben you'd think it meant 2-headed!!!!
oh well i guess i've got plenty time to chop and change my mind

I'm always a sucker for a bit of doubling up

Madeleine?
Monty?

Carlos
Carlo
Ramon
Ricardo
Xavier
Juan

Lucia/Lucy
Maria/Mari
Isabella
Ava
