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.
