[quote=Anonymous]I have met the Congresswoman with this name.  She is lovely, its a pretty name, but it is very difficult to pronounce from the spelling. It will make your child's life difficult.  It is awkward and embarrassing when you constantly have to ask someone how to pronounce their name or forget how to say it right after they told you. It also embarrassing for your child to constantly have their name mispronounced. It has nothing to do with being ethnic.  I know lots of unusual ethnic names but I can figure how to pronounce them from the spelling.  This is not one that is easy to figure out.  I grew up with a difficult to pronounce last name and I hated it.  I would have been really upset if I had a first name that caused the same problems.  I get your husband is from Mexico but you don't live in Mexico so you need to consider where your child will grow up.  If you like the pronunciation of the name, then come up with a spelling that phonetically matches its pronunciation. [/quote]
