What do you think?

(Sorry for all the posts asking for advice recently... having a million ideas but never at the same time!)

I think it's a lovely name, but probably only works for someone with a Spanish or Spanish-speaking background. It would be a bit strange for someone whose ancestors had lived in Leicestershire for ten generations unless there was a specific reason for using it.

It's a shame you've discounted it OP, I think Marisol is a beautiful name and a nice nod to your Spanish heritage.
I prefer it to Marietta, but that is also OK.

It probably IS the name of a hotel? It's a common Spanish name referring to the Virgin Mary (Maria of Solitude).

Sounds like a Spanish hotel

Exactly what I thought of too

Sounds like a holiday resort.

Beautiful name!

I like Marietta, reminds me of The Darling Buds of May.

It's quite a common Spanish name! I guess I'll knock this one off, got British family too and sounds like it doesn't work in English!

Do you have Spanish heritage? It's a Spanish girls name.

Sounds like pile cream

I thought exactly the same - it doesn't help that it sounds like 'arris 'ole!

I don't know what that means 😂
