I love Mireia! I don't know how usable it is in English, but it's gorgeous. I tend to love Mir- names in general, though.
I also like Catalina (Cata is sweet; I also like Lina), Anais, Ixchel, Jessenia, Meritxell, Naiara/Naia, and Rosalba. Calling an Aurelia Rey seems a bit weird since that's Spanish for "king", though.
