[Opinions] Re: Auxiliadora
in reply to a message by Caralena Estelle
I love it, but then I would, as it's a family name.
My grandfather's cousin is Maria Auxiliadora and her grand-daughter is named Auxiliadora Beatriz. Everyone calls her Dora for short.
I should add, my grandfather's family are back in his homeland of Spain, where the name is heard more frequently than it is here!
Edited to add: I only used to like it as a 'middle name' (or in Hispanic terms, the second compound of a first name), but ever since my third cousin was named Auxiliadora, well I've grown to love it (especially after seeing her for the first time over the summer).

Auxiliadora Beatriz is quite stunning! Dora is a lovely nick name for it too. I can see that being the normal usage. I think the name is lovely, just a little complicated for me. If it were a family name though, I would see the situation much differently. My like for it may become love if I had a reason!
