English names for the baby, which one can we choose?
The task of choosing a name for the baby is difficult, and if we have many options in Spanish, these are multiplied when looking for it in another language.
The arrival of a baby is always a joy but it is also a headache for many parents who still do not know what name to choose for the little one. Lately it is fashionable to put foreign names for newcomers, and why not? If you have a last name that you think an English name could be attached to is a good idea . There are parents who choose their child’s name based on their idols or famous actors.
Before choosing a foreign name, in this case English it is recommended that it is not very complicated to pronounce , or if you think that you are going to use mainly a dominative of that name because not everyone has to use it shortened. Some English diminutives are pretty but they come from too serious a long name.
Another recommendation for choosing an English name is to take into account the surname of your baby , if it has too Castilian surnames if we choose a too British name it will be out of tune. For example, Mary Jane López may not be very aesthetic. Anyway, from PregDream we propose some English names, both for girls and boys.
