[Opinions] I'm on a Spanish names kick now... :)

Which do you like better: Sofía Paloma or Sofía Liliana?

I also like Sofía Leonor, but could never use it do to it being the name of the Queen of Spain and the youngest Infanta. :) Royal associations aside, what do you think of the combo?

I love all of the names, but Sofia Liliana is my favorite.

Sofia Liliana! It's absolutely gorgeous, and I LOVE both names.

Sofia Paloma isn't half bad either, but I really dislike the name Paloma.

Sofia Leonor doesn't do it for me, but I'm not sure why.

I never used to like Paloma, either because 1) it was the name of a character on a soap opera, "As the World Turns" methinks (I dislike soap operas in general), 2) it reminded me of 'melanoma' due to the shared endings. But then I watched a lengthy documentary of Pablo Picasso on A&E which touched on the subject of his 'Paloma', the dove which he drew that later became an international symbol of peace. Since then, for me, it's taken on a somewhat serene connotation.

I like Sofía Liliana, too, because Liliana is such a beautiful name to me and plus lilies are a symbol of purity and innocence (and unfortunately mourning).

I like Sofia Paloma the best. I don't really like the other two.

I'm not a big fan of "-ana" names in general so I'm more inclined to Sofia Paloma. Paloma is much more interesting, anyway.

Sofia Leonor is your best combination. How about Sofia Pilar?

I adore Spanish names as well. They have a proud, regal quality to them, don't they? Some of my favorites:

Leonor, which you already list
Pilar
Inez / Ines
Mercedes
Francisca
Consuelo
Ximena
Jacinta

Sofía Pilar is very interesting. I've always liked the name Pilar, it has a strange kind of appeal.

From your list, I'm digging the sound of Sofía Ines and Sofí Mercedes.

Ximena looks interesting. I like the letter 'x' so it's an instant attraction for me. How is it pronounced?

Ximena = "hih-MAY-na" or "hih-MEH-na"

I agree with Siri & Kitten so far - Sofia Paloma. I really like Paloma, btw.

Thanks. :) It's a very soft-sounding name to me. Understated and not at all pretentious with a great meaning.

I love Sofia Paloma by far.

:-) Wisdom and Dove, or Wisdom and Peace.

Sofia Leonor I don't like...Leonor seems very masculine to me.

Ooo, thanks for pointing that out, Siri. :) That is a rather blissful meaning. You've definitely swayed my vote towards Sofía Paloma.
