Bilingual Baby Names that you’ll love in English and Spanish.
If your family is multicultural, then choosing a baby name won’t be an easy task. Not only is there already enough pressure in figuring out a name that suits your family as well as something that’s original and works for both sides of the family.
These are things that only bilingual and multicultural people have to consider before making a decision as big as naming the baby. Everyone will have an opinion, but finding something you and your partner are happy with and comfortable with is what really matters.
When choosing a baby’s name, you have to keep in mind your side of the family that perhaps doesn’t speak English. You also have to think about how a name can be confusing in English or Spanish because some names just don’t translate well to both languages or might be hard to pronounce in the other language.
There is a risk your child’s name is butchered, changed, and mispronounced, if you choose something complicated or a name that only sounds nice in English. Like Cara (also spelled Kara), for example, it sounds lovely in English, but you don’t want your Spanish-speaking relatives laughing every time they call your baby Cara and wonder why you named her after a word that means expensive in Spanish, right?
Luckily, we came up with a list of some of the best bilingual boy names and girl names that translate well between English and the various Romance languages, especially Spanish, French and Italian. Some sound exactly the same in both languages and the ones that don’t are still lovely even with the slight differences in pronunciation that an English-dominant or Spanish-dominant speaker might give them. Check them out.
