Are you thinking about what name to give your baby? Probably among your favorite options are those that appear in the following list. But, if what you want is an original name, don't look for it, because it's about the most used names for newborns in Spain.
With data from the Municipal Register, the Statistics National Institute Every year, it makes a list with the most frequent names and surnames of the residents in Spain, and with the information of the births registered in the Civil Registry, the names most frequently used for children appear.
Here I leave the 20 most frequent names of boys and girls who were born in 2007, and attached their origin and meaning in case it helps some daddy or mommy to decide. It seems that the Spaniards have not changed tastes compared to previous years. What do you know of a little Alejandro or a Lucia who was born last year?
