Too many to count. :-)

But if I had to narrow down my top ten:

---

Inez / Ines, Francisca, Montserrat, Consuelo, Mercedes, Belen, Columba, Ximena, Graciela, Jacinta.

Wait. That leaves out Alba / Rosalba, Carmela, Dulcinea and Edelmira. Oh, Constanza too. Did I mention Leonor?

I used to like Joaquin and Sergio when I was a kid, but not quite as much anymore.
