Choosing a baby name for your baby can seem like a chore for most, but it gets tougher when you want to connect cultures and even languages. In 2016, 22% of children in the United States, just over 12 million children total, used a language other than English at home. That rate has increased by 2% over the past decade, by 1.2 million children. At the state level, the percentage of children who do not speak English at home varies widely, from 44% in California to 2% in West Virginia. This makes Spanish girl names very attractive to parents in the US today.
The majority of bilingual households in the US are Hispanic-English environments, which makes Spanish baby names an obvious place to explore for girls. We decided to take a look at the attractive Hispanic girl names that honor heritage and that are already popular with English speakers. We have discovered a variety of baby names that should appeal to a number of parents who are going from a little girl “Mijita” to “Baby” in the same session. Check out these perfect Spanish baby names for bilingual households!
1. Lolo
Lolo is an adorable nickname that came from Caroline. Lori Susan "Lolo" Jones is an American track and field champion who helped put the spotlight on the possibility of this tiny shape.
2. Damica
Damica is a French girl's name and means “open-minded, friendly”. This rare find is practically unheard of in the United States today, and it is not often found in France either. We think more parents should consider this remarkable option.
3. Francine
With the advent of Pope Francis, all forms of this ancient and sacred name came up for a new look. Mid-century Francine appears to have sprung from a Mad Men character. The name was last popular in the US in the 1980s, but we see the potential for this contiguous name to return to Frances. As with Frances, Francine means "free man".
4. Darby
Darby is a gender neutral Irish name meaning 'free from envy'. The name was popular with both boys and girls in the United States in the 1970s, but has evolved into girls in recent years. Actor Paul Rudd has a baby daughter named Darby.
