Is there a reliable source to translate english into spanish names?

i have homework to do in spanish, and i need these names in spanish: brittany, megan, elizabeth, and emily. but i can't find a good website for me to use, because some of the names aren't listed. and i don't have a dictionary. if you know the names of the people i just listed, that would be a big help. if you don't please give me a resourceful site to use. i need this information by this wednesday, august 20. thanks for all your help(:|||You can try www.babelfish.com. They can translate everything in many different languages.|||Elizabeth in spanish is "Isabel"


(that doesn't mean that a girl can not be called Elizabeth in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela... )


Emily is "Emilia" in spanish.


Brittany is a breton name and could be translated as "Britania" but it doesn't exist in spanish (nobody is called like that)


Megan is a welsh name (Wales UK) and it is equivalent to Margaret (completely different name, although) so in spanish should be "Margarita" (yes, like the cocktail). Margarita means Daisy in spanish.|||I'd say "Elizabeth" would be "Isabel", but that's just from my experience (Queen Elizabeth of England was called Isabel by the Spanish). "Emily" would indeed be "Emilia"; as for the others, maybe you could just make up totally different names? or, just use the English forms, and try to pronounce them like a Spaniard ("bree-tan-ee", "may-gahn"), or something like that.


The closest names in Spanish to "Megan" would be "Margarita" or "Rita", there really isn't anything close to Brittany that I know of.|||To start, Elizabeth is exactly the same!


Emily------------"Emilia"





(As far as I know, "Brittany" and "Megan" don't exactly have an exact Spanish counterpart; not all English names have a Spanish version)
