Need help with Stage Name!!!

Okay I know this really has nothing to do with baby names, but I am about to start a job doing weather broadcasting for Spanish language TV stations, and since my name (Kate) won't work and the other girl that does it calls herself Katrina, anything close to my name probably won't work. SO I have come up with several names (first and last) that I like and need some opinions. Imagine you are watching the news and the weather talent comes on... what sounds catchy??

María-Alejandra Guzmán

María-Alejandra Mendoza

María-Alejandra Méndez

María-Alejandra Moreno

Solana Suárez

Amalinda Arroyo

Gabriela Guzmán

María-Inés Villareal

Gabriela Morales

Alejandra Aguilar

Aracelis Arroyo

Araceli Soto


Let me know what you guys think please! I'm only a few weeks away from going on air. :-)

Thanks! Kate

I like Gabriela Guzmán.

It has to be a name you like to say over and over again, and I think that the María-Alejandra names will seem too long after awhile.

Good luck and congratz on your new job!

Gabriela Morales.

It's catchy, and it won't be cumbersome to say on the air. Plus, even though it's a "stage name," it doesn't really sound like one! I think if you go with the same initial, it sounds too matchy and a bit less natural.

I definitely would use Solana Suarez. It already has the word sun (sol) in it. What could be more perfect for a weather talent? That's my opinion.

please, please, please.. No Maria's, there's 1000s of Maria's.

you want uniquely, distinctively standing out..Maria won't do that.

i like

Solana Suarez

also like Alejandra tho not with Aguiler(and i'm wanting to say AguilerA)

i worked with a American/PRican lady named * Jahaira *(ppl say Jah-Hye-Rah or Jah-Harr-Ah) has such a pretty sound, warming, distinctive. thought i'd share with you.
