DH has already said no to Matteo and Luca 😫. Any ideas for an Italian boy name that works in U.K. also? We have Francesca and Alessia picked out for a girl..

My mistake 😊

The trouble with Giuseppe is getting it spelt correctly.

Amalfimamma aww that's not fair, Santino is a brilliant name! My DH loves it so it's on my list!

I love Fabio (pronounced by the Italians I know as Fab-ee-oh not Fay-be-oh)

There are people in the world who pronounce it Fay-be-oh?? Hmm

Gianluigi is my favourite Italian boy's name.

I once taught a class with both Mario and Dario in it, they were the only males!

Francesco is also lovely.

Footle · 02/10/2016 22:47

I know a half-Italian Massimo known
as Max in his UK life.

I love Fabio (pronounced by the Italians I know as Fab-ee-oh not Fay-be-oh)
Salvatore is beautiful too. And Alessandro.

Matteo is my fave but see that's been vetoed. What about Leonardo nn Leo?

blueistheonlycolourwefeel · 02/10/2016 22:39

Paulo.

vlvlvlvl · 02/10/2016 22:35

I also love Santiago. My youngest brother is named Lorenzo (known as "Ren" before he went to secondary school but is now "Enzo" as it's 'cooler') which I think is such a lovely name.

Marcelo is also a favourite. I can't think of any that a pp hasn't mentioned I'm afraid! Love your girls choices though.

airedailleurs · 02/10/2016 22:34

I like Bruno

Wellywife · 02/10/2016 22:30

Knew a lovely Italian called Stephano and another called Marcello.

PurplePidjin · 02/10/2016 22:28

I wanted Santiago but wasn't quite brave enough

Luca, Vito, Enzo, Sebastian, Rafael... or have a look through the football teams in Serie A?

jesterkat · 02/10/2016 22:28

Paulo, Guilio, Stefano, Carlo

datingbarb · 02/10/2016 22:27

Gianni my all time fav Italian name

DoloresVanCartier · 02/10/2016 22:25

I've always loved Rafaele

Oriunda · 02/10/2016 22:23

Cosmo - my DH is Italian and FIL is Cosimo. Nice compromise and works well in both languages.
