Any other Italian places that would make good names?

Cosmo always makes me think 'cosmopolitan', worldly and well-travelled (bit of a stretch, perhaps).

I once met a 5yr old (non Spanish) Santiago, thought that sounded lovely.

Luca's one of my favourite boys' names; would (double 'c') Lucca, after the beautiful Tuscan city, work?

Travel-inspired names aside, though, you're spoilt for choice with so many gorgeous Italian boys' names! Alessio, Domenico, Salvatore, Lorenzo, Paolo...

Um, what about Lucca? It's a nice enough name and it's also a lovely city in Italy. Or, if you're feeling more adventurous, Otranto or Palermo? Grin
