English names and surnames of women and men

When you are going to have a boy or a girl, one of the great dilemmas of their parents is the name that they will put on him.

If this is your case, do not worry, it is very normal that you do not know what to call your child, you may not even consider any options.

Some parents look for original ideas, for example to use a language like English (British and American), and there are even those who prolong this decision until birth to see what name fits with their face.

In this article, I have prepared for you a compilation of English names and surnames of women and men, some uncommon or rare, some ancient, but all of them beautiful.

In addition, I have also prepared a list of surnames in English, I have always liked this language and you may be interested in taking a look at it.

Why use an English first and last name for our baby?

As we know that choosing a name for a baby is not easy (especially considering that it must be consistent with the surnames), we have prepared a small list for you with key tips that will help you make the decision.

First of all, stop and think this: when the baby comes into the world, apart from all the gifts, toys and clothes, the first thing you will receive is your own name, which will accompany you on all your way.

• Choose names that have a special meaning and do some research on their origin. For example, there are many English names that have a great history behind them, and that are often related to English surnames that are also interesting.
• Keep in mind the sonority that exists between the names and surnames. A good strategy is to make a combination of first and last name based on the extension. For example, if your last name and that of your partner is short, you can bet on a long name, or vice versa.
• There are many resources that can help us to find special names. In recent years the tendency to bet on English names has increased, although it is true that they do not always go well with surnames. You can research in name books, on web pages, in catalogs, or in specialized forums. You can also ask for advice on names and surnames online and thus opt for something special.
• Many times we end up choosing a name for a friend or family member that is very important to us. But if you also have the same last name (as might be the last names of a cousin), this could lead to confusion. In the end, to avoid them, we would have to use nicknames, and it is a shame that we have been so complicated with the names to end this way. Avoid choosing one that already has a relative: with English names this will not happen, since it is rare that another member of the family has one.
• You should always choose names that are easy to pronounce. A complicated name will not only be difficult to learn for us, but also for the baby, and even more so if the surnames are unpronounceable (like some other English names and surnames). If you don't want to regret your choice in the future, choose an easy-to-pronounce name; If the last name is already complicated, we are not going to make it more difficult.
• Say the first and last names out loud many times. There are certain combinations of names and surnames that may seem good to us when they are written, but totally the opposite if they are said out loud. The first and last name must be pronounced to know what it will sound like. We already know that the last name cannot be changed, but with the first name we can still do something. Some English names are difficult to say, so we should not choose them.
• Temporary names are a good option: we are talking about a name that does not go out of style (like many English names). A timeless combination of names and surnames will make a difference, it will make that name easy for other people to remember. You should also avoid choosing a name and surname that is usually too childish. Keep in mind that the name will always carry it.
• An old-fashioned name (both Spanish and English), should be discarded. Modern names and surnames is the thing to do. A current name will be easier to remember, regardless of the last name. Beware of old-fashioned English names; one of these names may sound like a lot of fun, but too classic.

Follow these types to choose a name in relation to surnames and you can have the combination names and surnames perfect

On the other hand, as I have said in other articles, I think there is no better way to start life with originality so that your personality is unique and interesting.

Here, parents can contribute their grain of sand, making their baby girl or boy have an English name, as interesting as one in Spanish, but that will stand out from the rest.

This Germanic language comes from the Indo-European language family. Its popularity grew in the United Kingdom, specifically in England when the Saxons and Angles began their invasions. Also, you probably don't know that many nicknames in English are closely tied to Greek and Latin.

With that said, we move on to see a listing names and surnames in English for men and women in this Anglo-Saxon language.
