Reyna is my favorite, hands down, though I prefer the spelling Raina (or Reina).Alma and Marisol are the only other two that appeal to me.

I like Calixta best of these, but I would prefer Catalina or Araceli. Those are my three favorite female Spanish names.

I love those three as well, and Araceli's one of my all-time faves.Don't go with anything TOO hard to pronounce for people who've got no idea though, unless you plan to include it. I could not pronounce Hermione from HP for the life of me until like the 4th book, and continued to read her name wrongly all through the fifth because I was just used to it. I used to do that to my characters all the time back when I wrote, and none of my friends could pronounce their names haha.

I did that too, for Hermione.(m)I suppose that's why it was put into the 4th book, lots of people were saying it wrong.
