babies names from a important location

[MummyDickinson2b]

My husband and I are really struggling for girls name s following a nunber of friends and famiky all having girls. We were thinking about sonething different and having got married in Italy Lake Orta we wondered if anyone can come up with a girls name linked to this??

Never been to lake Orta but the Italian lakes in general are beautiful, must have been a lovely wedding! :) A quick Google shows a link with st. Giulio, so maybe Julia? Or if a more general Italian name would be ok, I once met an Italian little girl called Alessia and I thought that was beautiful.

Well I went to the Italian lakes for my honeymoon too. Did you go to Venice?

What about Italian girls names?

I always remember the smell of honeysuckle in the hotel.

How about Orta itself (probably as a middle name) ?

Did you happen to visit nearby Pella? I think that would work well as a name.

Or, assuming Orta means gardens, it would have to be Hortense which came from it. Just throwing it out there...

Passatta only joking

Lucia is a lovely name for a girl

Thanks all for all your thoughts! Im thinking we might look for a nice italian girls name. Open for everyone's thoughts though

Yes the wedding was gorgeous - I love Italy!! My husband took me there as a surprise and proposed and we fell in love with it and decided it was the perfect place to get married.

I like Orta....

I love the name Alessia! Or Seraphina? (not sure if that's Greek though). Think an Italian girl's name would be a nice nod to your wedding and would be unique to yourselves so no copycats.

A nice Italian name, maybe?
DD's middle name is where we spent our honeymoon.

I love Alessia too. Knew an Alessia at school and she was beautiful.

I know an Italian lady called Fiorenza, which i really like, always sounds like a strong confident name to me! She's very beautiful too :)

Julia is Giulia in Italian (but pronounced the same way). Raphaela, Paola, Giovanna, Gianna, Chiara (Key-ara), Fabiola (I know two).

Venetia.

Opps Raphaela should be Raffaela in Italian.

Giuliana is Juliana or Juliet aka Romeo and

Alessandra, Ottavia

'Auralie' is not Italian, Aurelia is Italian. It is the name of a very long road (Via Aurelia) that goes down the coast. It is also v pretty (I am biased). Did you happen to drive down it?

Other lovely Italian names are Paloma and Natalia. No link to anything really, I just love them.
