Due in a few weeks and no name for Dd2. Thought we decided on Esmeralda but now we r thinking it's a syllable too long. We wanted a unique Spanish name we both love but hard to find. DH likes Ana, it's nice but so common. Thought of Matilde but maybe that's common too and Fabiol a new suggestion but it's just that DH not that fond and neither me tbh. Still undecided and find it so hard. Any suggestions? Do you like any of these names and why?

Sorry I meant MANY people not 'maybe'!

Ana is the same in pronunciation and is an inoffensive name, but she'll spend her life having emails and cards sent to her spelled 'Anna' from people who hear the name before they see it written down (or occasionally from people who don't seem able to read the spelling of a name in an email address even though it's right there on the screen in front of them).

Esmeralda is the prettiest of your choices but again, as has already been demonstrated on this thread, some people will misspell it Esmerelda.
