Common names

Question

I am looking for the spanish pronunciation of common names, i.e.. Rick, Nancy, Sue, Bob, etc.

Answer 1

A lot of names common English names have Spanish equivalents.

Rick=Richard=Ricardo

Bob=Robert=Roberto

Sue=Susan=Susana

Alex=Alej

Joshua=Josue

Rachel=Raquel

Carl=Carlos

Thomas=Tomás

etc.

Of course, then there are just English names that are used by Spanish speakers--without changing to the Spanish equivalent (I knew a Hispanic boy named Jon not Juan), or there might be no equivalent. Just say them with your Spanish accent is my usual strategy.
