MN if you feel you must ... but it is long and pretentious all right, and would shorten too easily to something bleak like Candy.

I also like Candelaria Athena, Candelaria Opal, Anya Candelaria, Antonia Candelaria, and Candelaria Rose.

I dislike that it has the part Candy in it, makes it sound a little tacky in my opinion.

It's much better as a middle name than first name

---

Olivia Candelaira is quite nice

---

Madeleine Candelaira seems a little too long imo

Sorry, I don't like it at all. It's not pretentious, just too much and it makes me think of candels. I much prefer it as a middle name. I like the flow of Emma Candelaria and Sophia Candelaria and I think it's a good idea to pair popular/common first names with more unusual/eccentric middle names.

Too much like candelabra.

Maybe as a middle name. Sophie Candelaria is quite nice.

Meh, Candelaria sounds better as a middle name to me :P
