Marisol?

Do you like the name Marisol? Would it be weird on a non-Spanish person? What middle name would you use with it? TIA!

So pretty, but I agree that it might be odd if you are not at all Spanish. What about Marigold?

Yeah, I work with a Marisol. Love the name, but would side-eye non Spanish/Hispanic descent.

So pretty buying agree, I don't know how if feel about it on a non-Spanish person. Mn would be fine though.

I would find it odd on someone without any Latino/Spanish/Hispanic heritage.

I agree with pp..weird for a person with no Spanish heritage.

I know a ton of women named Marisol, all between the ages of about 30-70, so for me it doesn't seem like much of a "baby name" I guess

And also I have never met someone who was not Hispanic with that name

FWIW I was friends with a Marisol growing up her name was Marisol Elisabet

Sooo pretty! But a little "off" to use if not Hispanic, a little.

There's so much cultural borrowing for naming purposes that it's become normal and acceptable nowadays. I don't see why your being non-hispanic should keep you from using the name you like. It's beautiful. Go for it.

I've only ever heard it on French women!

I think it would seem out of place on a person that isn't latin/spanish.

As just a name in general I really want to like it but it reminds me so much of Aerosol like a spray can. I think it's because there are very few words that have that same sound, so when I hear it I just see bathroom spray.

Marion, Maribel, Mariella, Meredith, etc. could be options.
