Are all English names the same in Spanish? For example, is "Ashley" the same name in Spanish as it is in English?

My name is Philip in English but Felipe in Spanish. The ones that don't have a Spanish equivalent will probably be sounded out by spanish speakers the way they are spelled (as most spanish words are spelled exactly like they sound) unless you tell them the way you would prefer them to sound it out.

No, sir. Your name is Phillip in english. Your name is Phillip in spansh. If you go to Russia, your name is Phillip. If Jose goes to Russia, his name is Jose. If he goes to Kansas City (either one), his name is Jose. If Jose goes to Alaska, his name is Jose. No one just starts calling him Joe! The man's name is Jose! tongue laugh
