Hola, I like the name Esperanza, for a girl becsaue it means hope in spanish and I read this book called Esperanza Rising in the fifth grade and it was really touching. Yes, touching, in the fifth grade. And even though it's not spanish, or english, I like my name and I'm willing to share. My name is Devereaux, it's french and if I had a nickel for evrytime someone told me that they had never heard anything like it and how pretty it was, I'd be next door neighbors to Bill Gates. I'm a girl, but Devereaux can be a guy name and it can be spelled differently.
