I love Luca and Alessandro
Also love Sicily but would spell it Cecily.
What do you think of the name Roma for a girl?

JoanCrawford · 09/07/2008 20:12

I really LIKE all the names

dizzydixies · 09/07/2008 20:12

Eva and Isla for me with Beatrix

Luca and Milo but not too sure if they go with the middle names

hatrick really has it come that quickly that you're now overdue?!?!

JoanCrawford · 09/07/2008 20:11

Sicily Harper is lovely tho tbh I really all the names listed.

Absolutely vital not to mention your preferences to close family and friends (I've learnt this lesson the hard way!)

Matteo is my fav for the boys but they are all good...

Sicily and Luca are both gorgeous!

Love Pia, Eva and Isla. LOVE Luca and Milo. Not too keen on any of these with the middle names you have suggested. Personally I think Pia, Eva or Isla would suit something with one syllable like Rose or Grace and likewise for the boys names a middle name like Jack or James. However, as is often the way with middle names it may be you have chosen your middle names due to their family meaning/heritage. Maybe they could have 2 middle names instead? Just my opinion obviously totally your choice.

elmoandella · 09/07/2008 20:03

ruby beatrix?

i like eva beatrix

could you use luciano instead of luca? it would get shortened to luca anyway and goes with any of the middle names

ScaryHairy · 09/07/2008 20:02

Gosh, I like most of those.
Good choices!

LaDiDaDi · 09/07/2008 20:01

Ok.

Girls: first names I like Pia and Everly, middle names I like them all but I don't think that Harper goes with any of your first name choices tbh.

Pia Beatrix is my favourite.

Boys: I like all of your first names and I really like Henry and Austin from your middle names list. Less keen on Jasper though still ok imo, really dislike Hudson.

S1ur · 09/07/2008 19:58

I love Pia and Eva, beautiful names

would go well with
Pia Juliet Bolo
Eva Beatrix Birolo

I also love Luca
Luca Henry Bosilo

Their all pretty lovely imo. Italian is a good range to choose from

Eloisa?

EffiePerine · 09/07/2008 19:56

actually what about Rafael James?

FabioTheWhisperingCat · 09/07/2008 19:56

Fabio

EffiePerine · 09/07/2008 19:56

I would go for

Isla Beatrix

and

Rafael something but not keen on the middle names (I think Henry would sound odd with your first name choices)

schneebly · 09/07/2008 19:56

Pia Juliet
Luca Henry

love Luca (was swoony character in chick lit book set on the isle of Capri)
