How about Marisol?

[jrt2022]

What do you think?

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

Well I love it.

But then my ds has Spanish on his fathers side and I remember it from CSI NY and I love how Horacio says it!

Marisol or Marietta if you want something that may work better in English.

We went for a name that is used in both countries but used the Spanish spelling.

It’s quite a middle aged name, if you expect her to spend any time in Spain.

One of the real housewives of Miami iirc

No! Just no!!!

Marietta is a type of biscuit!

It sounds a lot like Lysol the deodorant spray for pongy trainers sorry.

It sounds a bit sun-creamy.

How about just plain Mari? Sol could be middle name?

I've known a couple of Marisol's over the years. Both Spanish. I don't really like how the name sounds though to be honest. I prefer Maria.

Maria is nice. Marisol sounds like a lemon toilet cleaner.

How about Maribel?

It's a popular Puerto Rican name.

Marissa (sp) is very pretty and also a Spanish name.

I like it but from others reactions perhaps it won’t work. If you want a Spanish name connected with the Virgin Mary I really love the name Soledad.

FWIW I think it's nice
I wouldn't make that association
I've mostly heard it (in SE England) on Muslim ladies over 30
the 'sol' bit if anything sounds summery to me
just do as you wish

It sounds medical to me too.

Marissa?

Marissa?

Marisol is lovely, especially if you have Spanish heritage.

Most Londoners won't be familiar with the two-step cockney rhyming slang.

As someone unfamiliar with the various brands of pile cream, I hadn't heard of Anusol.

It did call to mind the word 'parasol' but that's not a reason not to use it. For instance, the name 'Steve' initially calls to my mind the words 'steam' and 'stove', but so what?

If you live anywhere near a big city, non-English names are extremely common in schools and nobody would bat an eye at Marisol.

I've never heard of it and when I read the thread title I assumed it was in the health section and Marisol was some sort of medication.

I think it's lovely!

English-speaking people unfamiliar with it might pronounce it Maris-ol, instead of Mari-sol.
One of the RHOMiami is Marisol.

I think some of the hate for this name might be coming from putting the stress in the wrong place when saying it. It sounds a lot better when pronounced the Spanish way. I think it's a nice name although I personally don't like the religious meaning behind it.

It depends where you live, though: you can't really be surprised if you live in the UK and people automatically pronounce it as if it followed the rules of English/Welsh/other home language.

Marietta is pretty though.

My first thought is it sounds like a holiday resort in Spain .
But actually that's just because I'm unfamiliar. It would soon" fit" the baby .

Agree it sounds like a Spanish holiday resort...
