[ladyofthemanorhouse]

Please help! DH is Italian and we would love an Italian name for out DD1, born last week. DH has suggested lots of pretty Italian names but none are really grabbing me. Thank You!!

My dh is also of italian origin, we have a few girls names all of which have already been mentioned... Apart from
Clara
:)

I knew a beautiful girl in Italy called Angelica. i loved that name!

How is Angelica pronounced?

I knew an An gay licka, not An gel icka
IYSWIM?!

How about
Genevra,

this is my favourite Italian name due to knowing a really fab lady with the name

Wow! Thank you so much, there are some beautiful names. I am liking:
Alessia
Tiziana
Serafina
Azura
Valentina
Elisabetta
Viviana
Alessandra
[goes off to tell DH these names]

So, DH likes Tiziana, Valentina, Elisabetta, Viviana and Serafina

Glad to help, just to point out, although you may not mine my friend Tiziana gets called "tits" for short

In my family:

Francesca
Deborah
Ivana
Romana
Graziella
Donatella
Daniella
Carla
Cinzia
Antonia
Sabrina
Maria
Lina
Pia
Laura

My friends are Italian and are called Francesca and Marina...

Congratulations!

Stella? Luna?
Arianna?
Franca?

Oh I love Loredana, I was very into when a teenager

Loredana Berte? Have you seen her recently? She makes Alice Cooper look staid these days.

Be aware that some of the names mentioned on here would be the Italian equivalent of Doris or Maureen...ie they sound lovely to our ears, but Italians roll on the floor when we say we like them. (Antonia, Elisabetta, Giovanna and my dd's middle name which I insisted on anyway- Caterina)

I love Francesca personally, and would have considered it for dd but here (obviously) they are 2 a penny.

Antonella I would say is the Italian version of Karen or Sarah. (ie gerzillions in their 20s 30s 40s, not very common now)

Italian friends of mine who have had girls recently have named them Valeria, Greta and Ginevra.

Valentina or Viviana for certain! They're beautiful!

Bucharest, no, not seen her recently, talking about aproximatly 20 years ago in the days I was young and beautiful myself! Nowadays, I would make Alice Cooper look in his prime.

I've noticed that the fashion for old lady names has spread to Italy too.
My youngest cousins/friends' kids in Italy are:
Carolina
Graziella
Beatrice

Alessia

You may have already decided but in my son's class there is a Ludovica, (nn Lulu) I didn't really like the name when I first heard it but has really grown on me (possibly because she is such a lovely little girl). Others I like are

Alessandra
Tiziana
Chiara
Flavia
Alessia
Donatella
Stella

This is my first baby name post so I don't mind a bit of a roasting!

i really like Vita.

what about Gioia?
lovely meaning as well.

also like Allegra

I like Daniella, Fabiana or Claudia.

I love Beatrice and Ludovica.....very Italian without being too-saintly-ubiquitous.
