Italian Baby Boy

I love Nico

Jacopo (pronounced Yacopo) Jac for short - not keen. Another Jac when Jack is so popular.
Nicolo - Nico for short - ok, but Nico is also used as a girl's name, and I am more familiar with the name Nicola for an italian man. It's ok but I'd go for Nico as the full name.
Romeo - Beckham association.

Dylan - yuk. The name is fine for welsh speakers but the Dillun pronunciation is horrid..
Rhodri - ok. Not keen on the non-welsh pronunciation.

If you don't speak Welsh, I suggest David as a middle name.
If you do speak Welsh, nico is a bit of an insult.

Romeo is a great name and one that's pronounced the same in most languages! Strong and masculine too.

I love Nick or Dylan

Nico wins for me

We have an Italian surname and our baby was going to be Vincent (baby Vinnie) if a boy

Nicole/Nico is lovely.

I love Rhodri but depends how upset you’ll be about it being pronounced wrongly.

What about Ianto or Iolo?

Italian DH and surname living in Wales here...

We went for Luca as it can't be mispronounced in English v Italian.. Unlike Romeo, Niccolo or Jacapo.

Nicolo sorry. Probably wouldn’t go with Nicole but it’s your baby!

Thank you everyone It is such a difficult decision; I guess we will just 'know' when he's born

@MikeUniformMike I do speak Welsh actually, my brothers are named Ieuan, Tomos Llewellyn and Lloyd.

Also, my partners name is Davide so would not want to name him the same and do not like the name David.

Romeo has nothing to do with Beckham, I hadn't even thought of that.. We were in just Verona whilst discussing names...

@ElphiasDoge my partner can actually pronounce it quite well as they also roll their 'R's in Italian.

@massistar my partner has a huge family and a lot of first cousins with names we are trying to avoid. Luca is one of those!

@PrincessMarm, Love your brothers' names.
Vincente is quite nice, Vin as a nn

Jacapo - I hear welsh people saying it as Jac Appo. Jac is quite popular in Wales.

Romeo is a great classic name that is pronounced similarly in Italian and English.

I hadn't thought of the Beckhams at all. Who cares about that anyway, they're not mass murderers or anything

@Levenderblues,
Romeo in English is ROME-ee-o
Romeo in Italian is Rom-AY-o

Oh ok, so the emphasis is slightly different. But it's still a well known name in both languages.

Unlike Jacobo for example, which is unfamiliar to most English speakers.

It's quite different. The name is known in both languages, which is a plus.
Romeo is not that nice a term in English.

Nicolo and Romeo are so nice

What about Cosmo? So cool!

Niccolo will be mangled by English/Welsh speakers and Romeo isn't pronounced the same. Just depends how much it'll annoy you!

What about Marco? Gianni? Gianluca? Antonio (Nino)? There's a lot more of a chance in Italian of it clashing with a family member's name as they tend to stick with traditional names so less choice.

Matteo is nice, and could be Matt when older.

Nico or Romeo! I know a Romeo and everyone always commented on how much they loved his name!

"He is Italian (so baby will have an Italian surname)"

Why don't you give your child your own surname? You are carrying and birthing the baby - and presumably raising it together with your partner? Dare I say you might even intend to be the primary carer?

You could give the baby both surnames.

Don't just give the baby an Italian first name and surname, it should have at least one name to reflect its heritage on the mother's side too.

I love Romeo, and, like PPs have suggested, everyone will know how to pronounce and spell it. I like Matteo too

Jac as short for Jacopo - wouldn't that be pronounced Yak? I'm not sure that would work.

I quite like Romeo of your choices. Through pronounced differently in Italian and English. Romano?

Lorenzo
Antonio
Francesco
Filippo
Cristiano
Carlo

I prefer Nicolo of your choices- though you'd have to settle on which spelling variation you prefer (Nicolo' or Niccolo) Nicola is much more old fashioned and ubiquitous- it was very popular particularly about 15-20 years ago.
Romeo is more of a surname, I have never met an Italian male with Romeo as a first name.
I like Rhodri and Ianto and no Italian would have trouble pronouncing either, I don't know how modern/traditional/old-fashioned they are in Welsh though. (Giovanni, for example has been named after his grandfather and is never going to be chosen by an Italian these days for any other reason)
Luca was, for years, the most popular Italian name and there are about 4 in every class.
