I really love Spanish names, and yes, a lot of these are very old and are rarely used today.
The ones most used today are:

---

Angel
Angela
Amado
Amada
Blanca (feminine form of Blanco)
Consuela
Esperanza
Estrella
Luna
Paloma (modern form of Palomba)
Sol

---

Part of the reason many of these are not used today is because they are actual words in the Spanish language.
