Eloisa or Raquel ?

[BabyBrainMom]

Looking for name for dd. Which is best Eloisa or Raquel? DH is from Spain and we were looking for a Spanish name...

Thank you for any tips you may have . . .

Hmm can I say neither but maybe Luisa?

(Poet and don't know it)

Eloisa. Wasn't there a Raquel in Eastenders?

I can't even read the name Raquel without hearing it in a Del Boy accent.

Eloisa is lovely.

mynameis.... I was going to say the exact same thing!!!

on that basis I prefer Eloisa

I guess Eloisa is slightly less awful

Wasn't there a Raquel on Corrie many moons ago? I must admit that the name reminds me of Del Boy's girlfriend as well.

Never watched Eastenders or Corrie, so glad I posted here and Raquel seems like not a good choice ...
Does Eloisa not sound nice? Any other Spanish names that may be lovely?

Marisol
Inez

Raquel is a bit chav IMO. Eloisa is nice, or I like Pilar too, if you're looking for Spanish names.

Louisa us nicer. Is that Spanish by any chance?

Louisa is nicer. Is that Spanish by any chance?

I prefer Eloise or Luisa to Eloisa but it is pretty in itself.

Eloise is nicer than Eloisa IMO. Less is more.

Raquel, yes just hear Delboy!!

How about Paloma, works in English and Spanish (means dove)

Otherwise I love love Maribel ( traditionally a diminutive of Maria Isabel. But now used in its own right )

Second Paloma and agree Eloisa is much nicer than Raquel (but also prefer Eloise for some reason).

Eloisa - definitely! Beautiful.

They are both nice names, but prefer Eloisa. Ramona is nice too.

Raquel just screams 80's tarty woman. Eloisa nicer

Eloisa is lovely. As is Paloma.

Thank you for all replies, dh not keen on Eloisa my favorite :( We are thinking of Luisa instead, Aviana or Alba, his favorite
