I like Rickeard. I LIke Ricky too and that doesn't need any explaining.

There was a thread about people who have all of the same sex the other day. You have a 35% chance of having a boy and a 65% chance of having another girl. According to The Lancet or was it somebody on Mumsnet doing a straw poll. Can't remember now.

Clara means "clear" in Spanish
The name means "brilliant, famous".

I like it.
Laura is a good name, though the Spanish pronouce it LOW-RA.

I like Isabella, Isadora.

My Dad's Spanish, in his family we women and girls called Ana, Ana Mari, Ana Clare, Nadia, Inmaculada, Ana Lia, Dolores (we call her Loly) and Micah.

Mamabea, Fiat do a 'Marea' which means nausea. Great name for a car!!

My half Spanish niece is Miranda.

GE - Marea means tide. Nausea means nausea. At least round here nr Milan it does. It's a pretty crap car though, maybe it induced feelings of nausea when you saw it?

My DD has an Italian name which sounds the same in both languages so in that respect works well in English. It has not been mentioned and I'm not saying it just in case someone nicks it at in ends up in the UK top 10. It's a bit of an old lady's name here so not many of them locally either.

GreenElizabeth, I raise you a Pajero. An even better name for a car!

Estelle

My friend's little girl is called Alma, which is another old fashioned Italian name. How about Monica or Elisa, pretty much universal.

How about Catalina (Cati) or Eulalia (Lali). They are quite old fashioned but I've always thought rather pretty.

Or Ilona or Ramona.

I like

Tia
Teija (tay-a)

Hello, my daughter is called Matilda and when we're in Spain (rather a lot) she gets called Matilde, i absolutely love Ima (for Immaculada and would even add the de la concepccion bit if i could get away with it!) on a tangent my son is called Bear, not very spanish at all!
