Hi we are due a baby in a few weeks and have a list of girls and boys names. We have narrowed down to a few of each. Would love opinions.
Boys: Bruno, Matteo (Matt), Massimo (Max), Noah.
Girls: Vanessa, Mary, Anita, Nora
Thanks in advance!

Teo is a nick name for Matteo in Italian (in the south of Italy anyway)

If we chose Bruno do you think it matters that our last name begins with O? The initials will be BO. He would have a middle name too likely beginning with R

Well it's good most of the names seem to be going down well. I really don't want a name that's cute on a baby but not serious on an adult if you see what I mean. Matteo seems to be popular. I have always loved the name Noah and am pretty annoyed it's suddenly got super popular in recent years!! I would like to avoid 10 Noah's in the same class. Same reason we discounted Sofia unfortunately because it's a beautiful name.

Nora is very cute also. Both Nora and Bruno are very cute on children but also flow through to be mature names on adults.

I like Matteo and Vanessa best.

I don’t have a favourite of your girl names but they all seem fine 🙂
