Baby sister for Xavier

[MrsMcJnr]

Help please I need some inspiration for girls' names. Her middle name will be Rosemary for my Gran and the first name can't end in an "e" sound due to our surname. Any ideas?

but you would pronounce them differently....

se mea encima would be say may-ah ensima
and la goma es mia you'd say la goma es mee-ah, so no rudeness at all. Think the problem would just be Spaniards would think you were a bit weird calling your child "mine".

Sorry you haven't had any ideas.

Came across this name that I'd forgotten about....
Amalia

I don't think Mia sounds at all rude in Spanish. A bit posessive perhaps...!

How about Ramona. Works well with Xavier.

Today I am loving Ainoha and Mireia but I don't think they translate into English all that well.

Maité (originally short for Maria-Theresia)

Ha ha - I love that belgo but it always makes me think 'Mighty'.

Marisa is often though to be a shortening of Maria Luisa.

Ainhoa always sounds like "I know her" to me.

Good point macaco

Thanks ladies some food for thought there some interesting Spanish names I've not heard before too

Gilly - you'll never guess where I am going tomorrow? I'll send your love how are you hon? we pronounce Xavier "X-a-vier"

triana is considered a bit "cani" (chav i suppose would be the translation), certainly in seville.
macarena's very popular though, or used to be.

Am I too late to join in?

How about Agustina? A vote from me for Cora as well

Are you very Catholic, in which case Francesca would be great because of St Francis Xavier.

Maria de la Paz (Paz)
Maria del Pilar (Pilar)
Luz
Maria de las Flores (DH tells me that this is not very common, but I like it)
Maria del Valle (DH tells me that this is not classy at all, but again I like it!)
Martina and Delphina are very popular here

If you like Mia, how about Maya? Works much better in Spanish (if you can forget the children's TV programme about Abeja Maya)

Err - medias, no?

I loved Abeja Maya too. It wouldn't put me off calling a DD Maya.
