[Opinions] Manuela
My husband mentioned this name to me as something he thinks would be very cute on a toddler. He's from Spain so I gather that Manuela is akin to our "grandma era" names. I'm intrigued by it. What do you think of Manuela? And can I get some combo ideas? I find this one hard to work with for some reason.

Yeah I wasn't sure what the general opinion would be for this name, I feel like it's not very likeable for English speakers, because of the Man- part.

I like Manuela!
mostly because I worked with one a long time ago. She was from Belgium. Probably born in the sixties?
Pronounced like Ma-nweh-la. Not Man-yoo-ella.
Our boss called her Man-yew-wella on purpose, just to be the jackass he was.
But I was happy that she taught me how to say it. It sounds pretty and elegant.I think it'd be good with another -a name as the middle?

I'm kinda enthusing right now about Manuela Margarita (or -eta)...
Or something short like - Faith, Jane, Renee, Iris?

Manuela Carmina is darkly elegant, I like that! Carmina is such a satisfying name.And Manuela Margarita would be doubly honouring for him! His grandparents are Manolo and Margarita. A natural pair :)
