What are your favourite Greek, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish names for both boys and girls?

I love Milagros for a girl (Spanish for miracle)
I also love Giacomo for a boy (Italian)

Cassandra and Sebastien, which are Greek. Gemma and Luka are Italian, I believe. I think that Luca is anyway. I can't think of any that are Portuguese or Spanish.

<3 Cassandra. I have a baby cousin called Cassandra, and I was soso glad my auntie called her that - the rest of the names of the list were horribly trendy and tacky.
It's such a great all round name!

I have little Italian cousins named Luca (a boy) and Giorgia (a girl). I love their names! Their mother's name is Tiziana, which I also think is very pretty.
