Recently found out we're having a boy, now trying to find an Italian name which will sound fine to English speakers too - we live in Italy but I'm from the UK so want something that's not unpronounceable or ridiculous in English.
I don't want to use English name as first name, as we live in Italy and it would get mispronounced on a daily basis.
Obvious choices like Luca, Marco and Matteo (all easy to pronounce) have been vetoed by DH.
Also he would like to call the baby after his father (baby's grandfather) as that is the local tradition here and they are a pretty trad family - one name on the following list is FIL's name but I am not sure I agree with that idea...so am trying to come up with some good alternatives.
So I'm curious to know what people make of these?
Jacopo (J pronounced as a Y so "YA-copoh)
Edoardo
Raffaele (Raff-ah-EH-leh)
Ettore (ETT-oreh)
Niccolo'
Ugo
Bruno
Thanks in advance!
