Name Inspiration: Italian (ish) sounding girls names

My husbands family is italian (but now UK based), and we have a longish Italian surname. Looking for a short and cute Italian (ish sounding not strictly) girls name.

Here is what we have so far, but nothing feels that inspired so far - so inspiration/input needed!

Cara
Rosa
Mia
Carina
Gia/Gianna
Pia
Lia (pronounced Leah)
Lara
Liliana
Rosalia
Sophia

For middle names I like Juliette, Beatrice, Rose

Lia Rose is probably my fav right now..

All suggestions welcome! :)

Lia is lovely- you could use Rosalia and then Lia as a nickname? You couldn't use Rose as a middle name then though. Or you could use Amalia (Lia) Rose.

They're all lovely names though, although I don't know if I'd go with Pia, that's asking for trouble!
