Eloisa or Raquel ?

[BabyBrainMom]

Looking for name for dd. Which is best Eloisa or Raquel? DH is from Spain and we were looking for a Spanish name...

Thank you for any tips you may have . . .

[NarkyNamechanger]

Hmm can I say neither but maybe Luisa?

(Poet and don't know it)

[CruCru]

Eloisa. Wasn't there a Raquel in Eastenders?

[mynameisslimshady]

I can't even read the name Raquel without hearing it in a Del Boy accent.

Eloisa is lovely.

[thisisyesterday]

mynameis.... I was going to say the exact same thing!!!

on that basis I prefer Eloisa

[EmmaGellerGreen]

I guess Eloisa is slightly less awful

[Bunbaker]

Wasn't there a Raquel on Corrie many moons ago? I must admit that the name reminds me of Del Boy's girlfriend as well.

[BabyBrainMom]

Never watched Eastenders or Corrie, so glad I posted here and Raquel seems like not a good choice ...
Does Eloisa not sound nice? Any other Spanish names that may be lovely?

[Rhubarbgarden]

Marisol
Inez

Raquel is a bit chav IMO. Eloisa is nice, or I like Pilar too, if you're looking for Spanish names.

Louisa us nicer. Is that Spanish by any chance?

[Mummyoftheyear]

Louisa is nicer. Is that Spanish by any chance?

[AntoinetteCosway]

I prefer Eloise or Luisa to Eloisa but it is pretty in itself.

[sleepingbeautiful]

Eloise is nicer than Eloisa IMO. Less is more.

Raquel, yes just hear Delboy!!

How about Paloma, works in English and Spanish (means dove)

Otherwise I love love Maribel ( traditionally a diminutive of Maria Isabel. But now used in its own right )

[SleepyCatOnTheMat]

Second Paloma and agree Eloisa is much nicer than Raquel (but also prefer Eloise for some reason).

[HahaHarrie]

Eloisa - definitely! Beautiful.

[NadiaWadia]

They are both nice names, but prefer Eloisa. Ramona is nice too.

[Layl77]

Raquel just screams 80's tarty woman. Eloisa nicer

[ZolaBuddleia]

Eloisa is lovely. As is Paloma.
