I have a friend (a new mom) who's a wine connoisseur who has vowed to call her baby girls after her favorite wines: Brandy, Kirsch, Sherry, and Margarita. Would you call your baby Pinot Grigio or Rhum? When stumped, another friend of mine who lives in Texas would ask around a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. She didn't run out of possibilities. They recommend the names Milagros, Soccoro, Carmela, Odessa, Juanita, Evangelina, Francisca, Florita, Herminia, Celina, Gloria, Felisa, Dolores, Barbara, and the ever-popular Maria in case she wanted a
Latin sobriquet.
