[Opinions] Re: Marcel, Lola and Rafael
I should like Marcel, but I can't warm up to it. I can't stand the girl's name Marcie, so I think that's what influencing me. (Do you live in Hungary?)I don't think the "f" spelling of Rafael is limited only to Spanish/Hispanic boys. As long as a name has history and meaning to it, why not?Lola. This name seems to be on the rise. I just can't get the Barry Manilow song out of my head when I see it. I do like the name Dolores, though. If you do use Lola, I would like to see it as a nn for Dolores. (BTW, can anyone tell me which spelling a Spaniard would traditionally use: Delores or Dolores? I'm never sure.)

I think Dolores is the original Spanish form, but I'm not sure.And yes, I'm Hungarian, and I live in Budapest :-)
