Yes, this is a hard problem given different pronunciations etc. We actually looked for a tri-lingual name for our kids, English Hebrew and Spanish. Luckily the Hebrew alphabet is different so that wasn't a problem in terms of spelling, but we had a lot of discussions around how to spell names that have different spellings in English vs. Spanish.

We went with names that are not native-Hebrew, but are easy to pronounce in all three languages.
