DH half Italian. DS due in a few short weeks, can't agree on a name but we jointly quite like:

Emilio (shortened to Emmy)
Angelo
Mauricio
Jacques (soft J)
Otto
Hunter
Ludovico (shortened to Ludo)
Yves (pronounced Eve)

There are more we've thrown around & DH mainly rejected will come back when I think of them.

Yes yes I know there's a mix of Italian / French / Other origins - we're not fussed about heritage, just having a unique name that's not too out there. Any thoughts or other suggestions welcome…

Love Emilio and Otto

What about Orry a Manx King?

(Please don't call him Eve)

I like Angelo best out of your list with Emilio and Ludovico second and third.

Do you live in the uK? If so if avoid called a boy Eve or Emmy. Eve is a ubiquitous girls' name in every playground at the mo. What about Emilio shortened to Milo?

I love Ludo and quite like Otto. Jacques is nice but hard to know quite how to say it.

I like Otto, though definitely not Italian! Also Ludo is lovely.

Have you considered Nico?
