Spanish-like girl names?

I am from Puerto-Rican descent. My mother is as white as a ghost, but my father was a full blood puerto-rican. I married into a all white caucasian family, but would like to name our next child something hispanic, but not overdone. Probable MN for girl would be Marie.

Girls or boys suggestions.
thanks.

Something like Gabriella, Isabella or Sofia would work well.

Analucia (Ana + Lucia) Meaning: grace, favour & light...absolutely beautiful

Almarosa (Alma + Rose) Meaning: rose of the soul, WOW! Gorgeous

Arabella Perhaps derived from Latin "orabilis" meaning "yielding to pray".

Good luck! Doc creator/owner of http://www.allnewbabynames.com

What about Lola? I was just reading my People magazine and Carnie Wilson named her little girl Lola Sofia. I thought that was cute. :)
