[Opinions] Guadalupe
Guadalupe is the name of the day on the home page. Lately I've been getting into names with hard "g,""d," and "b" sounds -- the heavier the better. So Guadalupe is appealing to me right now, especially with the darling nn Lupe ("LOO-pay") or Lulu. Guadalupe Anouk is my current stock combo. I'd love to hear if anyone has any other ideas for combos.So, what's the verdict on Guadalupe?

Oh, Guadalupe Rahela is superb. I've come across Rahel before, but Rahela is new to me. I'm very grateful. It flows beautifully with Guadalupe. :-)I'm also into: Guadalupe Sabrina, Guadalupe Marina, Guadalupe Cordelia and Guadalupe Viktoria / Victoria. It's not an easy name to combine. Very impressive. Thanks!

I'm not a fan of the hard g sounds in names so Guadalupe isn't my thing.

Fair enough. I knew she wouldn't be most people's dream name. All feedback is interesting and appreciated. Thanks!

Lupe is super cute. In a Spanish-speaking family (or one with Spanish-speaking heritage), I think Guadalupe would be great. She doesn't seem particularly suited to crossing racial boundaries to me, though. As far as heavy goes, how do you feel about Gudrun? That one has always felt like a pile of bricks to me.

GudrunGoody, goody, gumdrops for Gudrun. She's just my cup of tea! Love her.I should have noted in my original post that I'm looking at Guadalupe in more of a theoretical way. I'm not naming anyone soon, other than possibly a pet. Hey, Lupe (wolf) would make a cute name for a cat, no? Too mean?

:)Not too mean at all. Although I might tend to side more with the irony of a mouse or something equally meek and un-wolf-like.
