HelpRe: Trilingual EN-FR-ES boy name
in reply to a message by molly
Thank you so much, this is such an amazing list of names that actually work in all three languages that we hadn't considered! Seriously, this is wonderful!! I really like Nilo, Edgar, and Maël. Hector and Abel are wonderful but I have trouble imagining using them every day. I've never heard the name Amaury before and it is growing on me the more I say it!
I have a friend called Marcel who is also trilingual and it is actually very easy for Spanish speakers to say his name (Marcelo isn't bad either). I also really like Lucien - my mother's name is Luz, so it is like the French masculine version of that. (Plus, our favourite local pub is called Chez Lucien). I'm a fan of Émile but think there's a risk that anglophones would mistake it for Emily or Émilie. Overall, a wonderful list of options, thank you so much - you really understood the type of name we are looking for!

So glad this was helpful for you! I sourced most of my suggestions from the most recent Top 500 popularity list from France, so you might find more appealing ideas there: https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/france/2018. If you like retro names, you might also want to try an older list - there are some real treasures in there! I found that, surprisingly, a lot of Italian and Russian names are pronounced pretty similarly in English, French, and Spanish, so Italian/Russian name lists might also be helpful for you. Regardless, I think you've got some pretty great options.
