When choosing the name of the baby there is not always agreement between the families. While some seek a traditional name and all of life, others prefer a more original name. And the balance between tradition and originality can be found in English names.

English names for children

1. Brian. This name of Celtic origin has a meaning of 'strong man'. We are very familiar with a lot of well-known characters and is one of the most popular names in many places in the world.

2. Dylan. It is a name of Welsh origin that means 'son of the sea' and that we know well thanks to the English literary tradition. It is an ideal and original charismatic name for your baby.

3. Theo. This is the English and diminutive variant of a name of Greek origin meaning 'gift of the gods', Theodore. As with Leo, Theo acquires relevance as a proper name for his strength and personality.

5. Steven. It is the English version of a name of Greek origin meaning 'crowned'. Although we know him better by Esteban, we like this variant because it sounds totally renewed but maintaining the same touch of elegance.

7. William. This is the English variant of a name of Germanic origin meaning 'the protector'. Although it is more known to us as Guillermo, in this version it gains in originality although it maintains that noble and distinguished air.

8. Ben. The name has a Hebrew origin and means 'preferred son'. In this variant in English the characteristic is again given that the diminutive acquires the rank of proper name by its force. One of those short names with a lot of personality.

9. Connor. Although its origin is Irish, we know this name that has a meaning related to 'the wolf' thanks to the English tradition. We like it because it is a modern name with a lot of charisma and it is a safe bet for your child.

10. Ethan. This is the English variant of a biblical name meaning 'hard'. It is gaining popularity around the world because it is a name with personality that is hard to resist.
