PS I don't like Odessa. It's a port. No girl wants to be named after a port: it's like being called Portsmouth!

Giuliana Vittoria is lovely.

JoyousWriter · 27/09/2026 18:56

Vittoria is a type of biscuit. I can't get past that.

So my daughter will be born in the UK, but has Italian, Filipino and some Spanish ancestry.
Her last name is Italian.
Here are our choices:
Giuliana Vittoria
Giorgia Vittoria
Vittoria Seraphina
Vittoria Odessa
Which one sounds best? Or are these all bad and I should start over?
I even tried to generate a photo what she would look like (based in my older son) 😅 but I still could not pick which one would suit her best. Please help! https://100001.onl/

I got this,...

@GregKay I'm going by the names of girls at school with me. Lots of Sarahs plus a few Beckys/Becks, one Amy, one Laura. The names Amy, Laura and Rebecca became a lot more popular in the 1980s.

The number of Sarahs was just ridiculous - it's a nice enough name but it was everywhere.

GregKay · 16/09/2026 16:09

StationJack · 16/09/2026 16:00

Those names seem 1960s/70s/80s to me and don't think any of them other than Amy and Rebecca are dull because they were so popular for my friends'/colleagues' children.

I find the currently trendy names quite tired sounding.

Show quote history

Sarah, Laura, Amy and Becky associated with babies born in 60's and 70's, really? That seems a little unusual. But then we all have different experiences and opinions. Every second person I meet/know my age (early 40's) is called Laura or Sarah there's 'billons' of them!

I've lost track of the current trends based on Mumsnet to be honest, it seems anything goes now, which I rather like (as long as it's not Laura, Sarah, Becky, Amy or Vicky/Vic/Victoria 😀)

GregKay · 16/09/2026 14:48

Victoria may well be coming back or understandable if it does (although I hope not as it is so dull to me!), but for me it is as dated to kids born in the 80's as Sarah, Laura, Amy and Becky, maybe I've lived in areas where it was much more popular than others.

I don't know about Italy, Spain or the Philippines.

@GregKay , there won't be many now so they might be coming back and it's a classic name so it doesn't really date. The OP's names don't sound current in Italy (Giorgia Meloni is nearly 50). Plus Victoria is more international.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 16/09/2026 12:50

I really like Seraphina as a first name but you’d need a much shorter middle name.Maybe Clara as suggested above?

Ifeelold48 · 16/09/2026 12:43

What about Elena or Bianca. I think they can be used in all 3 countries and languages.

ToadRage · 16/09/2026 12:41

I love Guiliana but don't like Vittoria. I prefer the English Victoria and Georgia.

CruCru · 16/09/2026 12:38

I like Guiliana BUT people will need to be told it’s pronounced Juliana. And if / when people shorten it to Jules, how much will it annoy you?

user1492757084 · 16/09/2026 11:46

Vittoria Odessa is my favourite from your list.

Others ..
Mietta Florence
Tessa Vittoria

Joolsin · 15/09/2026 18:34

Beautiful names, all of them. Hard to pick, but I think I would go for Vittoria Odessa (such a lovely sounding combination) as my favourite. And stick with the Italian spellings, don't let anyone put you off!!!

All your choices are beautiful names though.

OP’s asked for suggestions and we all have our personal opinions and tastes. Not sure why you want me to justify mine, however a cognate is not ‘a completely different name’ for anyone looking at it objectively.

Show quote history

Sorry I didn't mean to annoy you, I just found it amusing that you were suggesting quite a different name 'completely' is the wrong word, but to me Victoria is a boring, old fashioned, dull old English name, there were a fair few Vicky and Victoria's about when I was at school so it seems so dull and dated to me. Vittoria on the other hand is new to my ears, sounds much more interesting, I think it would be great to use a name representative of her ancestry/relatives that are not British and is a very lovely spin on the name. I would say your middle name suggestions are very different to the OP's thoughts. But that is just my opinion as you have yours. To be honest I had forgotten the bit where the OP said 'are all these bad and should I start over'.

I didn't mean to single you out or annoy/upset you, it just made me smile that is all, sorry.

I think Victoria and Georgia are fine. I'd be wary of choosing a name from my partner's language or culture because I wouldn't know many names, and those I knew would be of people or children I know, and because there is too much emphasis on one culture when the child will be brought up in a family with a mixed heritage in a British environment.

Catnaaaaap · 15/09/2026 14:37

I think Giorgia Seraphina sounds really lovely. I know it wasn't one of your combos but I love it x

puddingandsun · 15/09/2026 14:35

So a completely different name then?!

I know this but how many people in the real world would know? So if it is seen as chavvy you are being judged, although as a middle name not known or less important.

Show quote history

You have a point. The place name is in the news frequently.
I don't think anyone bats an eye at Florence though, but it's not similar to the Italian name. Odessa's like Sienna/Siena and I find that a bit
I don't quite get the MN obsession with middle names or long flowery first names.

@timoteigirl , it's the feminine form of Odysseus.
