The naming options for girls are countless. When we decide not to continue with the family tradition and choose a unique one for our daughter, many parents wonder how to choose the perfect name. We can look at our place of origin, in some language that might attract our attention (even if it is a dead language), in the sound of a letter from which its phoneme attracts us or even in the names of women who have had a great transcendence in history or, at least, in ours ...
