Do you have Italian heritage ?

Yes.

Gloria is fabulous though,
Gloria seems like a really happy, upbeat name to me. Whereas Anna is a bit more classic and very international... Which is great imo.

From your girls' list, I think Anna is ok. I personally don't like any of the others.
I like Alexander - but then I like 'Alex'. If you don't, I wouldn't use Alexander.
Do you have Italian heritage ?

I'm not keen on Gloriana. Gloria is fabulous though, would definitely choose that!

Gloriana is lovely :) but maybe a bit too much like the queenly?

Matteo is gorgeous.

Thanks, I really like it as well. :) I also love Mattia but DH thinks it's 'too girly'.

Matteo is gorgeous.

I really like Anna, Elena and Gloria though I prefer Gloriana

From your boys name I really like Sebastian nn Bastian or Basti, Alexander nn Zander or Alec and Matteo which is gorgeous

No, Aita isn't a typo ;)

DH also suggested Alessio, sugar. But I personally just don't like it... (Which is too bad, because DH thinks it's 'cool')

How about Alessio ?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/06/2018 13:24

Love Lorenzo (Renz).
Anna Severina.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 18/06/2018 13:23

I love Anna, Gloria and Matilda.

Is Aita a typo? Vita?

Alec is nice. :)

But I feel like he'd still end up being an Alex (at school etc)...

But then again, not like I'd have to use the 'school nn', right?

Alec and Xander are also alternative nicknames, although Alec may be too similar to Alex

satsuma

I really like Alexander as well.

But I'm not 100% sure I like Alex...

Sandro / Sandru is a nice nn (but not an enforceable/stickable one) imo.

Love Elena and Alexander - also on my shortlist Smile
