methodsandmaterials we have rejected Giovanna, Guiliana, Natalia, Adriana, Chiaria, Cianna, Dahnya and Antonietta. I quite like Lissandra (nn Lissy) but DH not sure. His favourite is Marrietta, which is nice but not amazing

My DH is also Italian and my shortlist contained the following which I still love:

Adriana
Evelina

I thought although Italian, they also 'work' in English.

Or a place name? Sorrento is a nice name. Is Sienna an Italian name?

My aunt's name is lovely. Delfina. She shortens it to Dina (pronounced Deena)
