Which combo? and WDYT?

SweetSpikette · November 2009

We narrowed our daughter's name choices down to two:
1) Eva
2) Gabriela

Middle name options:
Sophia, Lucia, Natalia

Which combo do you like the best?

And do you think they sound like "Mexican soap opera star" names? This is the feedback we're getting from our friends/family - not that we really care. What do you think?

I think Eva Natalia sounds cool. The other two are too rhymey with Eva to me.

Gabriela is NMS.

I can see where Mexican Soap star is coming from.

Of all of those I really ony like Lucia.

AllThatGlitters101 · November 2009

My favorite is Eva Gabriela.

Next I like Gabriela Lucia, Eva Sophia, and Eva Natalia.

i think eva is the best option for the first name, but i feel as though any of those MN's would me it too over-the-top, sorry.

I think most of those names are really pretty, but I don't care for the -a ending on both the first and middle name.

This, exactly.

ValentineBB · November 2009

I like Eva Lucia.

LadyXaverian · November 2009

Of your choices, I really like Eva Natalia.

I agree with a pp that any other mn seems to 'rhyme' with Eva. Not a fan of Gabriela.

kegallagh · November 2009

I like Eva Lucia.

07bride · November 2009

Natalia Gabrielle is really nice. Ending both names with the "a" sounds too sing-songy for me

LOVE Gabriella...if my twins were 2 girls Garbriella would have been the 2nd girl. LOVE IT! HATE Gabby!

I also love every other name on your list! We have the exact same taste!

Eva would be my least favorite.

Gabriella Lucia

Gabriella Sophia

Gabriela Lucia and no they do not sound like Mexican Soap Opera names.

I am so over Eva/Ava. Sophia is too popular for me. Plus, in the last 18 months, we've gained two nieces named Lucy. (One is Lucia, One is Lucille.) I know at least 3 other babies (under a year) named Lucy. So while it's pretty, I think it's getting very popular. Natalia is nms.

I love Gabriela. (I'm assuming due to the 1 L, you are using the Spanish pronunciation.) We have a niece Gabriela, who goes by Gabi. (She definitely uses the Spanish pronunciation, as she is Peruvian.)

I prefer the Spanish Gah-bree-a (long a)-la to the English Gab-bree-L-uh.

That being said, these are pretty names. Some of them are just nms or too popular for me.
