What do you think about these names for babies?

I am Irish and my soon to be husband is mexican. We are planning on having at least a boy and a girl and want to throw a little ethnicity into some of the names





Girls:


Lana Michelle


Penelope (no middle name because no one in his family has middle names)





Boys:


Ryan Bradley


Valentino (again no middle name)

What do you think about these names for babies?
I love all of the names except Valentino. Sorry, but I am not crazy about that one.
Reply:Lana isn't my favourite name, I like Lara, Lena, or Leda better. The rest are very nice, especially in comparison with lot of other baby names these days.
Reply:i like the last name in the boy and the girl
Reply:Being Latina my first advice is to make sure you choose a name that even those family members that don't speak English (at all or somewhat) can pronounce.


Lana is great...Michelle is too Americanized


Ryan is great but probably not a good choice..


Valentino is different and could work
Reply:I like Lana Michelle and Ryan Bradley
Reply:I'm not so sure about Valentino, he would get teased at school were I live, but if you live somwhere more Mexican maybe it fits in better.
Reply:i like penelope for gurl


and ryan for the boy
Reply:luv ryan bradley and lana michelle


don't like valentino, penelope is ok
Reply:Valentino, is a really nice name for a male, I think.





Michelle is really common so I would more so go with Lana.


Penelope reminds me to much of Popeye. =)
Reply:hmmm, i like ryan bradley, it sounds super cute.
Reply:Lana Michelle is adorable. Ryan Bradley is also cute.
Reply:not too crazy about Penelope and Valentino. They're not as bad as some others, but not good names, either.
Reply:I adore Penelope. That's one of my favorite girls' names.
Reply:cute names
Reply:i dont think ryan bradley sounds very ethnic, but i like it
