Full Version: International Name Ideas

We will be traveling a lot, so I need a name that is international, not too difficult to spell, and will not get poor bub into trouble in different countries (ie, really Jewish sounding names will be no good when we are in the middle east, for example)
I like unusual but not overly weird names - girls names that aren't too girly girl (although husband loves feminine and Russian names!) and boys that aren't too "hipster" or too traditional. Complicated enough?

Our surname starts with "C" and has 3 syllables.
Please let me know what you think! And please, new suggestions welcome, I am just getting started!

My ideas so far:
BOY:
Leon
Arthur
Elroy
Will
Gabriel
Gus
Enzo
Winston
Django
Taj
Sam

GIRL:
Amelie
Anais
Anoush/Anouk
Aurelia
Aurora
Elodie
Emmeline
Indigo
Ondine
