Names that work in English and Portuguese

Hi! I’m expecting my first boy and am really struggling to find a name both me and my husband like. I’m Brazilian so I want names that are pronounced pretty much the same in Portuguese and English. We have two girls: Cecilia and Camilla. It doesn’t need to stay with the C names, that was a coincidence 😅 I really liked Nicolas (Nico) but my husband doesn’t and no other name has really clicked with either one of us. We have this little list so far: Leonardo Iago Giovanni Eduardo Felipe Matteo Please help

Lucas🙂

Luca Thomas/tomas Daniel Gabriel Noah Max Oscar Kai Tiago I’m Portuguese and me and my partner also struggled. We then went to have a girl and still struggled to find a name

Thanks. I should’ve mentioned we like that name but there are 3 Lucas in my family 😅 I don’t think we will add a fourth 😂

I like Matteo from your list :) My son is called “Daniyal” which is like Daniel but with a long yaal sound. Not sure if you would like that or if it works for you.

You could stick to the l's and choose Leonardo or Felipe, as they both go with Cecilia and Camilla 😊

I am Portuguese and I have a Leo ☺️ his middle name is quite long (not Portuguese) so I didn’t like Leonardo with it. My grandad’s name was Leonel and my husbands grandad’s name was Getúlio so Leo was perfect for us to honour them 😊 my Portuguese family have managed to say it just fine without the accent on the e but if you would prefer could do Lèo. I think if we have another boy next, we will do Ruben/ Reuben probably as a middle name as my husband doesn’t like it much. I loooove it and would have 100% used it for this baby if it was down to me

i LOVE Iago! 💙 Cecilia, Camilla and... Leandro Frederico Bernardo Augusto Emanuel Salvador Antonio Gabriel Thiago Rafael Tomas Danilo Emilio Lucas Oscar Hugo Enzo Luan Cruz Caio 💙

@Madelina ♡ Iago is Cecilia’s favorite! It’s up there for us for sure. Together with Leonardo (I really like Leo) but added some from your list too. Thank you
