I think that I mentioned this before, but some artist and musician names would work well because Mir” is for [name]Joan[/name] Mir” and [name]Thelonius[/name] is for [name]Thelonius[/name] Monk. Here are some lists:
Thank you for those links. I had considered [name]Violetta[/name] nn etta. I do like [name]Mercer[/name] and [name]Hendrix[/name] as musician names. My cousin named her daughter [name]Nirvana[/name]. I like artist and musician names but i dont like it to be to obvious like [name]Picasso[/name] or [name]Jagger[/name]. for example Mir” is an artist name but also means “to have looked” in spanish and Lightning is a musicians (lightnin’ Hopkins) but its also a nature names. [name]Do[/name] i make sense? I want to give my child the opportunity to make an impression with his name not be over shadowed by his namesake.
[name]Ciel[/name]- No not a starbaby name, but here in Mexico it is a well-known brand of bottled water, so i wouldn’t use it as a name. Would sound a LOT better if you used [name]CIELO[/name](meaning sky).
[name]Mariposa[/name] ([name]Butterfly[/name])-[name]Even[/name] though I live in Mexico, I haven’t hear of anyone named [name]Mariposa[/name]. Plus I don’t think It would serve her well living in the United Staes either.
Other Options:
[name]Alma/name and [name]Aurora[/name] ([name]Dawn[/name]) are lovely names that sound lovlier in spanish.
(K)[name]Cristina[/name]-works both in english and spanish.
[name]Lucy[/name] or [name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Alicia[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Sandra[/name]-[name]Sandy[/name]!
[name]Beatriz[/name]
[name]Araceli[/name]
[name]Dulce[/name]-Sweet, [name]Candy[/name].
Some nature names that would work in spanish:
[name]Luna[/name]
[name]Sol[/name]
[name]Brisa[/name]-[name]Breeze[/name]
[name]Mar[/name]- Sea
Arena-Sand
Estrealla-[name]Star[/name]
[name]Coral[/name]
[name]Rosa[/name]
[name]Violeta[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name]-nn [name]Terri[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]-nn [name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Catarina[/name]-Spanish for Ladybug that sounds so much lovlier than [name]Mariposa[/name], nn-Caty
[name]Zinnia[/name] [name]Rayna[/name] is lovely.
Considering your other option…[name]Zinnia[/name] [name]Lupe[/name].
Her name would have to be: [name]Zinnia[/name] [name]Guadalupe[/name] in honor of the Virgin of [name]Guadalupe[/name] here in Mexico. [name]Guadalupe[/name] is too much over used here in Mexico…So I wouldn’t used this as an option. Not meaning to offend.
Hey, [name]Meryl[/name]!!! I totally missed this thread. Sorry about that!
[name]Clementine[/name]: I love it, and think that [name]Clementina[/name] is fabulous, too!
[name]Zinnia[/name]: I think it’s amazing, and so sweet with [name]Lila[/name] and Miro (my computer hates me and won’t let me type the accent)
Esm”: I love it, but with your last name, it reminds me a bit of “is my ______”
[name]Ana[/name]”s [ah-nah-EES] not so easy to say in english: I think it’s gorgeous, but like you said, a lot of English speakers (and non-French speakers) may mispronounce it. I’ve sadly heard it mispronounced as “anus.”
[name]Paloma[/name]: I think it’s gorgeous, but like you said, it may become more popular. [name]Even[/name] so, if you love it, I think that’s what matters. What a great name!
[name]Mariposa[/name]: Hmm…I like some of the other first names more, but I can see [name]Mariposa[/name] making a cool middle name.
[name]Iris[/name]- in spanish ARCO [name]IRIS[/name] (EE reece) is a rainbow: I really, really love it, [name]Meryl[/name]!
[name]Ciel[/name]: I think it’s really pretty… Yes, it’s [name]Niki[/name] [name]Taylor[/name]'s daughter’s name, but not everyone knows that, and [name]Niki[/name] isn’t as mainstream as she used to be when she was younger. You could always use it as a middle…
[name]Delfina[/name]: I love it! Wow!
ocean: I think it would make a really cool middle, because I personally love the more feminine first names with [name]Lila[/name].
I really love your list! My favorites with [name]Lila[/name] and Miro are [name]Zinnia[/name] and Delfiina. I love your style, [name]Meryl[/name]!
[name]Jill[/name], I was getting worried about you since I haven’t seen you post lately. I read before that you have no children and are not in a relationship correct me if im wrong. Sorry if im getting to personal. I just wanted to recommend a dating site Match dot com. I did a lot of dating on this site and met many wonderful men including my current partner. Again sorry if this is too personal.
I never thought of [name]Esme[/name] with my last name, Thank God you brought that to my attention! [name]Esme[/name] is OUT. I love [name]Delfina[/name] and [name]Zinnia[/name] too but my partner is very attached to [name]Clementine[/name] so it will at least need to be a mn.

CrissyBella, thank you so much for your reply. I too have never heard of the name [name]Mariposa[/name] used in Mexico but why not?? In USA she could go by the flower name posy. [name]LOve[/name] [name]Araceli[/name] but hate how it sounds in english. Also like [name]Sol[/name] and [name]Lago[/name] for a boy. [name]Love[/name] [name]Brisa[/name], [name]Coral[/name], and Arena. I like [name]CAtarina[/name] but in USA they could shorten it to [name]CAT[/name]. Like [name]Alma[/name] but my sister in law is named [name]Alma[/name]. thank you.
For [name]Ocean[/name] i would pronounce it “Oh [name]Shan[/name]” the american way but do you think spelling it Oc”ane makes it look more like a name? or will it just confuse ppl as i am NOT using the french “oh [name]SAY[/name] ahn” pronunciation?
I think [name]Ocean[/name] would be the more conventional spelling, especially if you’re pronouncing it the English way. [name]Even[/name] if you did use the French pronunciation and spelling, I think it would confuse a lot of English speakers.

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Meryl[/name]! I’m happy to say that I actually do have a great man in my life! Yea! No kids yet, but I can’t wait! Thank you so much for thinking of me, though. You’re such a sweetheart, [name]Meryl[/name]. (((HUG)))
I’ve been posting, just not as much, because I’ve happily been so busy lately.
I totally forgot about [name]Clementine[/name]/[name]Clementina[/name], by the way, and I love that, too.
This is totally random, but I know you speak Spanish, and I was just thinking about how at one point, I was fluent in Spanish. I can’t believe it, but I didn’t practice, and I’ve lost so much of the language! I remember a lot of totally useful words like “naranjas” and “acetunas,” but I can barely string together a sentence now!
Let me think…I’m trying to put together a sentencet: [name]Yo[/name] hablo espanol (I can’t type accents on Nameberry) un poco.
Back to names, I was sad when I realized that [name]Esme[/name] wasn’t the best with your last name. Oh well. You have such an awesome list, though! Still loving [name]Zinnia[/name] and [name]Delfina[/name]!
