How about going with a Spanish fn and an Irish mn?

Some Spanish names I like for girls with possible Irish mns:

Isabel Briana
Mariana Bree
Marisol Aileen
Gabriela Margaret
Catalina Maeve
Ariela Maeve
Elena Cady
Madalena Brielle
Marisa Caitlyn

First names for boys:

Ruben
Miguel
Esteban
Luis
Mario
