Congratulations, it’s a girl! Now comes the challenging part: Choosing the perfect name. Bilingual baby names are beautiful. But what exactly makes for a beautiful bilingual baby name? In our opinion a beautiful bilingual baby name is one that sounds great whether you are pronouncing it in English or in Spanish.
A bilingual name is a name of a person that is spelled, if not pronounced, exactly the same in two languages. The speakers of a certain language usually have names that do not exist in another language. Even when the name has a common root or refers to the same historic or religious figure, different languages will spell and pronounce the name in a unique way.
Choosing a baby’s name is never easy, and choosing a bilingual baby name can be even more complicated.
