Could I? Should I?

And would it be in any way likely to offend our Catholic priest?

We have a 6/7 year old Dante who lives opposite us - he goes to Catholic school too.,

Well, Dante did have a lot of Popes in Hell, y'know! :P

I really like the name, but would worry it'd look too pretentious, as I'm not remotely Italian.

I think it's a nice name

Don't know about priests but I wouldn't!
Yuck - it's a bit pretentious not to mention its connotations.

is this from the thread the other day ?

No idea about the priest. I'm presuming there are no St Dantes' though?

Personally, I wouldn't.
