Hi...I was just looking at different names and I started to think about most popular girls/boys names. Can anyone think of some names you hear a lot(in Spain)?

Judging from conversations overheard on the streets, there seem to be an inordinate number of women in Spain named "¡Oye wapa!"

oo, oo,oo,pick me, pick me! I know of a couple of popular names! Ready for this one. Maria! That's a girls name. And for the boys, a popular one is, get this, Juan!

I think I met a guy named Jose once in Spain.

Carmen, Mercedes, Paloma, Cristina, Milagros, Ana, Esperanza...
Boys:
Antonio, Fernando, Felipe, Agustin,Carlos, Miguel...

Thanks Booklady!

Fernando is not common nor uncommon hehehe

Fernando

I've met rather a lot of Luises, Josés, Marías, Juans and Manuels, and the occasional Fernando, Eva, and one or two Jesúses. And, of course, Catalunya has a great many guys named Jordi.

don´t forget Javier...

especially not Javier Bardem!

I once heard the girl-name "Concepción".

I often thought it odd to have the mixed-sex (?) names like José María for men and María José for women. Why is this?? I think years ago I once got confused and called a guy María José. :o Both names are very common in Spain.
