[Opinions] Re: Hispanic/Arabic sister set
in reply to a message by Catalina nsi
Is it surprising because you expected more ethnically-obvious names? I suppose I would, but I know so many people with names that technically have nothing to do with their ethnicity that I take it in stride. I would find it surprising if half of them had very Spanish or Arabic sounding names and the others had very English names.
As for the sibset... 7 girls! Whoo.
I like the names. Camille is a fav of mine, ad Victoria and Diana are GPs - as they are just so royal and elegant but DH shot them down.
Christina and Sophia are not really on my radar; I would never consider them. Christina was just sooo popular when I was growing up, and I have a zillion people named Chris in my family. So, any Chris name just looks boring to me. Sophia (while pretty) is too trendy to consider.
Estelle is great. I like Estrella better... but the Spanish pronunciation is very specific, so I can see why they go by Estelle in Miami.
