Help with Spanish/English boy names Jan 3, 2017 20:50:34 GMT -5

Post by cordy81 on Jan 3, 2017 20:50:34 GMT -5

Hi all. I'm brand new here and stumbled upon this site while endlessly searching for boy names that work in Spanish and English. DH is from Spain, and we travel back and forth often. Goodness is this hard!
I'll take any/all feedback and suggestions, please.

Baby's last name is long, complicated and hyphenated.
The Spanish first half is 4 syllables & English second half is 2.

Big sister is Elena

Current contenders:
Roman/Román
Mateo (I love but DH says it "lacks character")
Hugo
Alexander/Alejandro (Alex)

DH vetoed Lucas
I vetoed Martín (Mar-teen). I think it's a great name but I fear the nn Marty.

Middle name ideas: Xavier, Agustín, José

We wound up choosing a name that has a different specific Spanish pronunciation (Josephine/ Josefina), so maybe that could work for you. My Spanish name suggestions are Joaquin Tomas Felix Fernando Leonardo

I think if you don't use it, it's less likely to happen. Suggestions: Daniel Carlos Juan Robert/Roberto Matías Maximo Mauricio
