[name]Just[/name] a question, why do you pronounce [name]Lucia[/name], Loo-sha? In Spanish it would be Loo-si-ah (or Loo-thi-ah in Spain). With the [name]Paloma[/name] next to it, it looks like it should be pronounced the Spanish way.

Wow…there are some really great suggestions here and thanks for the input!

I really love the name [name]Dante[/name], but unfortunately my husband does not.

As for the question regarding my daughter’s name, My husband and I simply loved the pronunciation we chose, more than the Spanish or Italian pronunciation.

If you like unusual names, you might like Suero, a male Spanish medieval name.
