Looking for names that work in both Italian and English. Husband has a short Italian surname. I don't really want names that are usually spelt or pronounced differently in Italian.

Francesca, Giulia, Martina, Isabella, Angela, Maria, Anna, Lidia, Cristina, Antonia, Angelica, Roberta, Veronica, Rosa

Others with similar spellings but pron differences: Paola, Beatrice, Caterina.

Boys are harder as there is inevitably a bigger spelling difference.

PS a few of the above are very very old fashioned (Antonia, Caterina)
