I saw it on that 4 year old program, the boy was adorable! His name was Enzo... I had never heard of it, but really like it.

Thoughts?

I think it’s a lovely name. I’d be surprised if you didn’t have Italian heritage though. I know names like Luca have become pretty normal here for people without Italian heritage but Enzo isn’t one of them (yet).
Could be wrong but isn’t it also a diminutive of Enrico?

CravingCheese · 22/11/2019 17:18

I like it :)

wineymummy · 21/11/2019 11:06

What about Renzo? Like the architect Renzo Piano.

MikeUniformMike · 20/11/2019 20:31

I like it but the Enzo I know it italian by blood. I don't like Ezra,
If you like it, why not use it.

Jj2431 · 20/11/2019 16:33

Okay name if you have Italian in your family but if not then ridiculous imo

The art of racing in the rain. Incredible movie. You will love the name Enzo after watching it!

mathanxiety · 20/11/2019 05:13

You're thinking of Elmo, Cguk81

gerwen · 20/11/2019 05:03

Enzo will become popular now with the movie; the art of driving in the rain!

sparechange · 21/11/2016 21:36

My colleague is Enzo, short for Vincenzo

If you aren't Italian, people will assume you or your DH has named your son after your favourite supercar

WaitrosePigeon · 21/11/2016 21:33

It's incredibly naff.

MissClimpsonsTypingBureau · 21/11/2016 21:09

There's an actor called Enzo Cilenti who has the broadest Bradford accent ever - he carries it off pretty well.

ZeroDarkHurty · 21/11/2016 01:20

My dh's cousin's son is Laurence and was called Enzo as a nick name when he was little, Laurie once he was older. I love it. Wouldn't give Enzo by itself as doesn't pass the high court justice/rock star test imo.

Cguk81 · 21/11/2016 01:06

Is there not a sesame Street character called Enzo? It immediately made me think of that programme. But I think if you have Italian roots then it would be nice. As suggested by a PP I love the name Ezra.

sandgrown · 21/11/2016 01:00

Prefer Lorenzo with Renzo as a nickname .

griffinsss · 21/11/2016 00:47

But clearly I think it's very cutesy! Probably why my brother hates it!

griffinsss · 21/11/2016 00:47

My brother is Enzo, but it is short for Lorenzo. He's currently a cool teenager and going as "Ren" but he'll always be little Enzo to me.

I think Enzo is actually quite a lovely stand alone name.

Honeybee79 · 19/11/2016 09:38

As a shortening of Lorenzo it's quite nice and v much suited the little boy on tv!

Does make me think a bit of Benzos tho.

HearTheThunderRoar · 19/11/2016 00:49

I know a toddler Enzo (I'm pretty sure no Italian heritage) and I was a bit Hmm when I was first heard the name but it's really grown on me now.

QueenOfTheNaps · 19/11/2016 00:43

If you have Italian roots/connections then yes it's fab!

YellowOfficeBlock · 19/11/2016 00:14

We have an Enzo, he's 4 and adorable, but he's a beagle!

I still quite like it though

Enzo
JudgeJudySheidlin · 19/11/2016 00:00

Cool name! Go for it

timeforabrewnow · 18/11/2016 16:31

woof woof Enzo

Nataleejah · 18/11/2016 16:12

I prefer Ezio

Onenerfwarfrombreakdown · 17/11/2016 09:18

Enzo Ferrari - possibly one of the most famous names in Italy - founder of Ferrari.

This car is the Enzo, named for him obviously. It's a cool name but the association will probably be brought up quite a lot.

Enzo
KlingybunFistelvase · 17/11/2016 09:12

I didn't see the program and can only envisage it on an adult for some reason! I don't like it that much but don't hate it either.
