I know a girl names Araceli (spells it with an i) and I love that one.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I couldn't vote... they all seem very madeup and not classy in any way. However, I do love Araceli.

Sorry,

Many of the names on your list are simply gorgeous, but their spellings detract from their beauty and make them look made-up. Even with your pronunciation key for Anamireya, I'm still not sure what you're going for with this spelling. I can guarantee that she'll spend her whole life correcting people (and I know whereof I speak because I have a weirdly spelled name). I have a dear friend named Anna Maria, so it's a name that I love. In addition, Sophia is beautiful...just a classic, with lots of flair and feminitity. Since it's the only one of the group that's spelled correctly, I'd choose it as a first name. Isabella is a little popular lately, but still, it's just a beautiful name. Like the previous poster, I like Araceli, and because of the repeating S sound, my first choice would be Sophia Araceli Melendez. My second choice would be Sophia Anna-Maria Melendez, followed closely by Isabella Sophia Melendez.

I voted Anamireya Sophia Melendez, and love the flow and spelling of it, and when I first saw it, I thought it was simply gorgeous! It is long, but I don't see how it is more difficult to get the pronounciation. I don't think it looks made up either. The others, with the Z and such, the last one I don't like, can't pronounce, etc. But I just like the first all together. Again, I am no expert, but I love it.

I just wanted to add, I am guessing you speak Spanish, and I'm French, so similar pronunciations of things... Maybe that's why I get it? It's great though. I mean, I assume, if around other Spanish speaking people mainly, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Again, just guessing here.
