[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is beautiful. I would be concerned if your husband wasn't Mexican, but he and, presumably, his entire family will know how to pronounce it and won't consider it strange or unusual. Ignore the people on here saying it's ugly -- it is unfamiliar to them, and some people hate unfamiliar things. But how better to teach your daughter the joy of her heritage, and the joy of something unusual and unique, than to giver her a Mexican name that people here will find unusual and unique.

I love when people give their children names from their cultural heritage. I grew up in an era when everyone -- even the many Native, Hispanic, Korean-American, and Chinese-American families I grew up around -- named their kids Jessica and Gary and Kristy and Jeff. Now all my friends I grew up with are giving their kids names that honor or incorporate their family's heritage. We don't need a million Jessicas. We could use one more Xochitl.[/quote]

+1 . It's no more difficult than Saoirse. And DCUM claims to love that name.

You will certainly have to explain its pronunciation a million times. But if that doesn't bother you, then go for it. [/quote]
