Montserrat
I love Montserrat! If only I'd dare use it... I'm afraid that name has high teasing potential in my neck of the woods. I also like Lucía, Rocío, Francisca and Ignacio. --Laura--

I loved most of your suggestions! Some I specially like:Francisca: Really classy. I also like the Italian form Francesca.
Mercedes: One of my favourites. It also "runs" as a middle name in my family so I might end up using it
Inez: Nice, I prefer Inés though.
Belén: Lovely but kind of overused.Francisco: Love it.
Joaquin: One of my favourites.
Ignacio: Really cool, I love nn Nacho.
Clemente: Nice. Can't imagine it on a little child though. Thanks! :)--Laura--

Absolutely. For a boy, I love Alejandro, Diego and Javier. I love saying Alejandro. There are these two sibs at my dd's school named Ana and Jandrito (I'm assuming that Jandrito is a pet form of Alejandro).For a girl, I love Adriana, Carolina, Eliana and Raquel (which I also think is quite fun to say).EDA Celia and Celina.
