1. Martina
2. Constanza

6. Javiera
7. Antonia
8. Maria

Isidora and Vicente.
Wow. Constanza?
Yeesh. Maria Constanza, I guess, if I have to choose! For boys... Vicente Martin.

Being Latina, I love Spanish names, so this is a tough one (I'm assuming they have Spanish accent marks on them.)
Sofía Valentina
Nicolás Benjamín
I also like María, Martina (GP), Constanza (GP), Matías (GP), Joaquin (GP) & Diego.

Sofia (or maybe Valentina) and Sebastian
Antonia Sofia & Sebastian Matias
Maria --I know it's super common, but it's a family name. I'd also use Antonia.
Nicolas --I can't use Sebastian or Benjamin, so this would be my third choice. I like all of the names a lot though.

Catalina and Nicolas.
Martin and Sofia, I reckon.
I choose Catalina and Sebastian.
But I love a lot of the girl's names, in order I like Catalina, Antonia, Javiera, Martina, Sofia, Constanza, Isidora, Maria, Valentina, and Francisca. I had a real hard time choosing between Catalina and Antonia, I really love them. Isidora and some of the others of these would have been in a different place if I wasn't pronouncing them the Spanish way, Isidora would have been my second favorite if it was being pronounced the English way. I love the sound of Catalina and I love that it has so many good nn's; Kat, Katie, Lina, Kit, etc...
For the boys names in order I like Sebastian, Joaquin, Matias, Diego, Nicolas, Martin, Vicente, Jose, Benjamin, and Cristobal. Truthfully I really dislike Cristobal, every time I see and hear it I think of somone saying in a strong accent crystal ball. The Spanish pronunciation of Benjamin sounds terrible to me. I really like the first four names and had a hard time choosing between them. Some of these names would be in a much different place in my favorites list if I wasn't pronouncing them the Spanish way. I like the nn's Seb and Bastian for Sebastian.

My friend just had a little girl named Valentina.
Mine would be Isidora Sofia & Matias Diego.
Neat lists :)

I like Valentina, Isidora and Sofia from the girls. However, I don't like Valentina enough to use it myself and while I love Isadora, I don't like Isidora nearly as much. But Sofia is sooo common...
From the boys, Sebastian is the clear winner. But I do like Benjamin and Nicolas as well.

Antonia and Diego.
I love Antonia. I'd use it if I thought I could avoid Toni. Benjamin tempted me, since it's a longtime love, but I decided on Diego, my favorite Spanish boy name, instead.

For a girl: Antonia - this is a new name on my list, it's sweet strong and beautiful. Combo: Antonia Maria (I have Marie on my list and Maria is close enough).
For a boy: Sebastian - again this is a name on my list, it is very high up and I think it's handsome and strong. Combo: Sebastian Matias.

I cheated with this one because in Chile it's common for children to have more than one first name. Or, at least the people from Chile I know do.
