Baby due anyday Now Help!

OK, Our son is due anyday now and we have two names but I am not sure what to go with. We like the name Andres and Julian. But here is my problem, we picked these names because DH is mexican and I wanted a name that went well in english and spanish but however I like Andres because there is no big difference in saying it in spanish or english however I like Julian but in spanish the J is prounouced like a H so it sound like Hulian and I am not sure I like that to well. Which name do you like better and what would you go with?

I really like Julian. How would you and DH refer to him when you talk to/about him? If you'd use the J (English) pronunciation, and the Spanish would only be used by his extended family, I personally wouldn't mind that. However, if your DH would want to use the Spanish pronunciation and it'd bother you, then I'd avoid using Julian.
I'm not a big fan of Andres but I like Andre a lot. FWIW, my favorite English/Spanish name is Matteo- love it!
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
i think it would fit perfectly for your needs.
I like both names, but I would lean more towards Andres for pronounciation.

I would go with Andres, sounds strong and hadsome. I might also do something like Elias.
