[name_m]The[/name_m] other posters have raised interesting points. I also don’t think the lack of discussions about rarer Spanish names here is an intentional omission but a matter of demographics. People are more comfortable discussing names that they are familiar with. Ask about a more unusual Spanish name - say, [name_f]Guillermina[/name_f] or [name_f]Amparo[/name_f] or [name_f]Montserrat[/name_f] - and you’ll probably get few responses because most posters just aren’t aware of those names and what associations they have in the countries where they are commonly used.
I’m [name_f]Irish[/name_f] (an [name_f]Irish[/name_f] citizen living in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], not Irish-American). I personally wouldn’t use Nameberry to ask about [name_f]Irish[/name_f] names because most people who use the forum aren’t [name_f]Irish[/name_f] and so they tend to suggest names that are either very common in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] or dated or not [name_f]Irish[/name_f] at all. (And I get it - unless you’ve grown up in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] or lived there for a long time, you’re not going to know what associations those names have.)
