My favorite is Elena. I tend to go for Galician names rather than Spanish ones: Sabela and Xàn (form of Sean, prn. SHAWN)

I don't have many Spanish names on my favourites list. Mireia and Caterina are the only one that comes to mind. I like a lot of the Virgin Mother names - Ascencion, Encarnacion etc. - but I'd never use them because they're linked to very specific beliefs I don't share.

I also like a lot of Latinate names that could be Spanish, but I don't think of them as such because they can be Italian, Latinate etc. as well. Liliana, Mariana, Emilia, Natalia, Adriana, Rosalina, Valentina, Lucia ...
