We've narrowed it down to a handful, but I'm feeling really indecisive! My family are Italian and OH is English, so we kind of want a name that works in both cultures and surname-wise (I don't want DD to have to spell out her name everywhere she goes for the rest of her life!).

OH favours Sophia, which I also like, but it seems very popular at the moment!

I like Alice (which is pronounced differently in Italian, but I also like the English pronunciation) but OH is less keen.

He really likes Georgia, which is a so-so one for me. We both like Lia, but of course it is not really English at all!

Anyone have any better ideas for multi-Euro-cultural names? :D

How is it pronounced in Italian? I think it’s timeless

I also feel like Alice is one of those names that never goes massively out of fashion, if you know what I mean?

I like Emilia, but I'm worried it's maybe not going to go very well with an English surname? We're not doing double-barrelled...

OH also likes Francesca, but I'm not a huge fan!

They are all lovely but all very different vibes:
Georgia - quirky / trendy
Sophia - princess-y posh
Alice - simple & elegant

A lot of Italian names work in English too. I love Lia, so simple and beautiful.
