So many awesome names. The ones I'm most drawn to:Petronilla -- makes me think of medieval England and ancient Rome
Maria
Augusto Angel -- great combo
Rodrigo
Gonzalo -- there's something about this one that always takes me aback. Similarity to Gonzaga, my sister's university? Not sure. Very intriguing.
Alfonso -- Alonzo too
Mercedes -- utterly gorgeous. Wish it wasn't so associated with the car where I live.
Rafael -- too cool
Celedon -- love Celandine for a girl. Is this for a boy or a girl in Spanish? Thanks! :0)

The ones interesting me are Gaston and Celedon. I hear Gaston used internationally but not here in the US and I think that can be attributed to the fact that he's a popular Disney villain. Its a shame because its a nice name.
Celedon is very cool and I wonder if it has the same association to the color in Spanish.
