Are you talking about names you will find on a Spanish-language baby-names list that are the exactly the same in English?  (For example, Arlo, Damian, Jonas, Julian, Xavier, Roman.)

Or just Spanish names that aren't incomprehensible to people who speak English?  Since there are so many Spanish place names in the U.S. derived from saints, this category won't be too hard.  (For example, Luis, Diego, Pablo, and Raphael.)

There are also a boatload of names that are changed from English to Spanish just by the addition of one sound, such as Roberto, Sebastiano, Gilberto, Francisco, Bernardo, Alfredo.

If Felipe, something plain like John
If Philip, something elegant like Joaquin

I like the balance of one Spanish name and one English one.
