[Opinions] Re: Rocio
in reply to a message by Siri
Wow, I really love your taste in names, and I'm so glad you've picked up Rocio. I love Spanish religion-related word names (that sounds really specific, but really, it's a big category!). Socorro has never been a favorite of mine for whatever reason, but I think if you're going to use a theme, Spanish religion-related word names as mns is a great one. Other names from that category: Dolores (pains...sounds like a bad meaning, but it's not!), Mercedes (mercies), Pilar (pillar), Belen (Bethlehem), Soledad (solitude...again, sounds like a bad meaning, but it's not), Piedad (piety), Amparo (shelter), Remedios (remedies), Angeles (angels), Cruz (cross), Consuelo (consolation), Candelaria (Candlemas), Candela (candle), Carmen (Carmel), Alba (dawn), Emperatriz (empress), Esmeralda (emerald), Gracia (grace), Luz (light), Milagros (miracles), Nieves (snows), Paloma (dove), Paz (peace), Reina (queen), Rosario (rosary), Azucena (madonna lily), and Trinidad (trinity).Here are some other suggestions of names you might like from my list:
Adelina Adeline Aida Almudena Beata Carol Chantal Cristina Damaris Emmanuelle Esther Ilaria Ines Julitta Leonie Leonor Maria Marisol Maxima Mehitabel Mireille (prn mee-RAE) Mireia Naomi Ofelia Paola Ramona Salome Susan Susanna Ursula
Amedeo Andre Andrea Antonin Barnaby Carmi Caspar Claude Cristobal Daniel Emilio Emmanuel Erez Esai Fabian Francis Hector Hosea Itamar Ivan Jesse Joah Joses Kaïs (not in the database, but it's name of the "Romeo of the Arab world" and it's prn kah-EECE) Leonel Lionel Lucas Malachi Malchy Manuel Marcel Marcelo Marco Marcos Marcus Marino Mattia Omar Oscar Paris Pascal Patrick Paul Paulo Remi Solomon Solon Tino Vadim ValdemarHope that helps. Let me know what you like!

I love Rocio. These are all beautiful names. To me they are in the same category as Puritan virtue names in that they are meaningful and classy so they will never go out of style (unless, that is, they become fillers which is a shame).I adore Consuelo (Conso nn), Alba, Paloma, Soledad, and Rosario the best.Thanks for the great list!
