My family are Italian and I used these names-

Rocco
Antonio
Luca
Vito
Sofia
Anna

Others I liked were-

Valentina
Lilianna
Natalia
Lucia

Matteo
Nico
Lorenzo

Florian
Angelo
Luca

Francesca
Annamaria
Carmen

I think Carmen is a Spanish name, rather than Italian.

Angelo is one of my all time favourite boys names, I really love it.

I also like:

Aldo
Gabriel
Alessandro
Elia

And I think Valentina, Adriana, Gaia, Elisa and Noemi are are lovely too.

A lot of the names listed above are pretty old fashioned (think the equivalent of Doris or Ethel!)

Are you looking for a name that will work in both languages?

Are you in the UK (so might prefer a less typically Italian name) or in Italy (where you might prefer the opposite)

What names does the Italian half of the partnership like?

I'm English and DH is Italian. Our son is Cosmo (FIL is Cosimo). Works well in both languages.

Avoid the Andrea/Nicola type boys' names.
Avoid Lucia/Chiara type names because they'd get pronounced loosia and cheeara etc

Gaia is lovely but unfortunately I think would get teased.

Surname will be double barrelled English and Italian

We live in the UK, I'm the English one

We know an American/Italian boy called Loris. There is a top Italian racing driver called Loris. The name really suits him. His sister is Cina (pronounced See-na).

Oops Loris Kessel was actually Swiss from an Italian speaking area. He died in 2010. A Loris is also a cute, furry creature.
