Raquel

What do you think of it?

I'm highly considering it for one of my twins, although I'm worried about people constantly mentioning its other appearances-e.g- name for ancient scotland, surname of the actress Jessica Alba.

I'm going to Argentina for 2 months soon and know of the differences in the meaning of words, for example the Spanish word- Coger means something very rude in South American Spanish.

I would just like a list of day to day spanish words which have offensive meanings in South America so as to avoid awkward situations.

By normal words, I mean day to day words like Coger- to take. As opposed to terms that are offensive anyway like Hijo de Puta.

I don't mean tearjerkers, or films where you get the occasional tear or two, I'm talking about flat out crying and feelings of guilt/anger. Personally I've never cried more than a few tears apart from, in the following films, most of which are based on real events.

SHOOTING DOGS/BEYOND THE GATES

HOTEL RWANDA

TWICE BORN

PEARL HARBOUR

BLOOD DIAMOND

All are great films that I highly recommend watching regardless of the horrible events depicted.

That said, which films have made you feel/react similarly, I'm curious to know whether I'm just too sensitive.

I'm trying to find out about the war and how it started but I keep finding it very difficult remembering who the bad guys were, If there were no clear cut good or bad guys but who were the agonists/antagonists then?

I know it's a bit morbid but I was just wondering?

No new name suggestions please, just would like to know which ones people think sound the nicest and work well together. Here are the names, feel free to vote them up (green thumb) and down (red thumb) too if you don't want to comment, every little helps :)

Is there such a thing as spice tolerance?

My friends and families can eat things like spicy curries, food with tabasco sauce, jalapenos and chilli's on yet I can barely eat a packet of Chilli Heatwave Dorito's without a bottle of water at my side.

Hey guys, you might remember I asked a question on here the other day about which names off of me and my husbands lists were most liked. Well, we've sorted out all our names, and we've combined the ones we liked with each other to make 15 name combinations, we can't decide on which ones sound/look/feel the best, input from you guys would be great again :)

Please thumbs up/down the names on here

Let us know what you think, thank you.

No suggestions please, we've already got a solid list of 15 names. I just want opinions on the names and which ones people like the sound of most. Pick your favourites and possibly say why?

Alessa, Alessandra, Anya, Cassandra, Elise, Eva, Gabriella, Johanna, Kara, Lucia, Nadja, Natalia, Sofia, Soraya, Zara

People always spell and pronounce my home town wrong and it is one of the easiest places to pronounce. I come from the Balearic Island of Mallorca, pronounced MA-YORCA, however for some reason English tourists, and only english tourists have decided that it isn't called Mallorca but is now called Majorca which they pronounce MA-JORK-UH. It sounds so stupid and ugly, but the tourists do not seem to care that the locals are laughing at them when they say this. Why change the name of a place which can be pronounced in English? This reaallly grinds my gears if you can't tell already, would this annoy you if you were in the same situation?

What are your favourites from these girls names? Which do you think sound uncommon but beautiful and which do you just find a little bit too weird? They're my list of potential middle names :)

Alessa, Anya, Athena, Avalon, Azura, Callista, Elise, Fiora, Johanna, Kara, Nadja, Petra, Tia, Soraya, Summer, Valeria & Zena.

So far I've only worked out a few combinations of my favourite names , what are your opinions on them and which is your favourite from each name and overall? Feel free to add a suggestion for the 2nd name, but please don't change the first name (I'd prefer the suggestions to be non-English names due to my non-English background and culture, but it isn't essential)

I've put the pronunciations of the names in brackets to let you know how they will sound :)

Alessandra Lucia or Alessandra Sofia or your suggestion-(Al-ess-andra)

Andrea Sophia or Andrea Carolina or your suggestion-(An-dray-ah)

Eva Gabrielle, Eva Lucia, Eva Alessandra, Eva Bianca, Eva Julietta,Eva Marie,Eva Mercedes or Eva Natalia-(Ay-va) (This is how it's said in my culture before I get lots of angry comments about it.)

Cassandra Nova, Cassandra Sofia/Sophia or your suggestion (hard to find ones that work well)

Lucia Adelia, Lucia Amanda, Lucia Carolina, Lucia Gabriella, Lucia Mercedes-(Loo-cee-ah)

Natalia Callista, Natalia Gabriella, Natalia Martina, Natalia Micaela, Natalia Sofia or Natalia Verónica- (Nat-ah-leah)

Zara Adrianna, Zara Melia, Zara Susana or your suggestion- Zara (S-ah-rah)

Let me know what you think :) I hope you like my names.

It's quite long as its both mine and my husband's favourite names (Boys+Girls) compiled into one list. We are both from foreign (non-English) speaking backgrounds which is why many of the names may sound a bit exotic.

Please can you rate my names by following the link, and maybe say your favourites? (if you have any, you probably won't)

Also please say your 5 least favourite names on the list, and why if you can too?

Pronunciation of some of the more exotic names as follows:

EVA (ay-vah) KAIA (kai-uh) AALIYAH (aar-leah) LANI (lah-nee)

No name suggestions please as that would only increase the length of the list :)

I really like the sound of the language in this song, it sounds beautiful and sexy but I don't know what it is, can anyone help? I know it's Eastern European but that's about as far as I can narrow it down.

Recently I've been trying to set my husband's best friend up with some girls I know with little success. He was round the other day for drinks and I casually mentioned that he shouldn't be so picky with women, he told me he wasn't picky at all and it was just that he isn't attracted to white women at all, which is a bit strange because he himself is white. Is it weird that he isn't attracted to people from his own race? And is it racist that he doesn't like women from a particular race?

I'm just curious, I know my wording of this question isn't brilliant so sorry if I've caused offence.

I asked this question a few days back but my link did not work and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, I've managed to fix it now so if you wouldn't mind could you check out the link and like/dislike some of the names. Its quite an extensive list and I need to narrow it down.

You can say your favourites on here too if you want, your welcome to post any name suggestions too but I have a foreign surname/family so most traditional western names will not go very well with it, thanks in advance :)
