Translation of names
Is the a listing of common names with translations on this site?

If you search previous threads on translating names you will see that it is not recommended. If you are Robert in English, you do not suddenly become Roberto when speaking Spanish.
Common name translations are not a crime, however, unless you actually try to pass yourself off as Roberto when you sign a legal document. It is often done with names that would be hard to pronounce in Spanish (say George...somewhat daunting in Spanish. Much easier to adopt an apodo like Jorge).
If your name is John Doe I certainly would apply for a Visa in the name of Juan Cierva. I hear the prisons in other countries are as bad or worse than ours.
That being said; here is what you are looking for.
