Ooh, I can fully support Adrian, Diego, Valentina and Victoria! I'm a bit surprised by the Camilla / Kamilla spellings since I would have expected Camila to be more common. Pretty name.

I like them all except Jayden, but I absolutely love Alondra.

I guess Mia is popular on a truly national scale including in Puerto Rico no less.

I have a Puerto Rican friend who had her baby last year, but she doesn't live in Puerto Rico. She chose Isabella. However, her name and her other girl's names are more Puerto Rican. Actually, very Puerto Rican. On the list, I could see myself using Ian, Adrian, and Sofia. I like Diego but wouldn't use it myself as I feel its too ethnic for someone who has no Central/South American/Spanish or Portuguese ancestry. I also like Valentina but cannot see myself using it. Valeria always makes me think of the word venereal. Additionally, I cannot BELIEVE that people are still riding on the coat tails of Jayden. Can't it be done already? Everyone knows its the Tiffany of the 00's.

Isabella has a Latina flavor, so I can see how it would be a nice fit for a Puerto Rican family. You summed up my feelings about Diego. I like it, but it is to ethnic for my own use.

A large part of mi familia is Puerto Rican (state-side and back home on the island) .. we have a young Jaydwin. A combo name of 2 uncles.
