I come from a Mexican background and Nena and Nana mean Aunt and grandmother consecutively. And it is more likely that Felipe is spelled with an F.

One of my grandmother's "Nena" real name is Esperanza. Although I don't know if "Nena" is short for Esperanza (meaning Hope in English).

Nana and Tata mean grandmother and grandfather.

I hope this helps in some small way.
