Louis
Sebastian
Alexander
Matteo
Lorenzo
Severin

Love Elena and Alexander - also on my shortlist

satsuma

I really like Alexander as well.

But I'm not 100% sure I like Alex...

Sandro / Sandru is a nice nn (but not an enforceable/stickable one) imo.

Alec and Xander are also alternative nicknames, although Alec may be too similar to Alex

Alec is nice. :)

But I feel like he'd still end up being an Alex (at school etc)...

But then again, not like I'd have to use the 'school nn', right?

I love Anna, Gloria and Matilda.

Is Aita a typo? Vita?

Love Lorenzo (Renz).
Anna Severina.

How about Alessio ?

No, Aita isn't a typo ;)

DH also suggested Alessio, sugar. But I personally just don't like it... (Which is too bad, because DH thinks it's 'cool')

I really like Anna, Elena and Gloria though I prefer Gloriana

From your boys name I really like Sebastian nn Bastian or Basti, Alexander nn Zander or Alec and Matteo which is gorgeous

Matteo is gorgeous.

Gloriana is lovely :) but maybe a bit too much like the queenly?

Matteo is gorgeous.

Thanks, I really like it as well. :) I also love Mattia but DH thinks it's 'too girly'.

I'm not keen on Gloriana. Gloria is fabulous though, would definitely choose that!

From your girls' list, I think Anna is ok. I personally don't like any of the others.
I like Alexander - but then I like 'Alex'. If you don't, I wouldn't use Alexander.
Do you have Italian heritage ?

Do you have Italian heritage ?

Yes.

Gloria is fabulous though,
Gloria seems like a really happy, upbeat name to me. Whereas Anna is a bit more classic and very international... Which is great imo.

Seems like Anna, Gloria, Elena, Alexander and Matteo are the most popular.

I'm assuming that Savaria, Aita and Severin aren't 'crowd pleasers'?

I like Savaria and Severin! Then again, my taste isn't usually the same as the traditional Mums net choices. Or Sevarina as it says at the top.. Not sure which is correct but it's lovely

Lost my comment...;( Severina and Severin would both honour my mother. (It's one of her middle names)

Saveria is a name we found in one of my great grandmother's letters :)

I like Anna, Gloria and Lorenzo best.

Hi, from your lists I like:

Anna
Gloria
Matilda

Louis
Sebastian
Alexander
Matteo

My mistake! I confused myself...

Anyway I think they're both beautiful! Severina and Saveria and Severin are my favourites from your list

Severina is a great name and a great song.

À great song?

I think they're both beautiful! So do I. I actually really like all the names on the girl's list...

Sophronia

Thanks :)!

starkid seeing as you're one of the people that like Matteo.

What's your opinion of Matteo Vs Mattia?

What do you think of these? Thanks smile

Anna - boring
Gloria - like it, I know a little French Gloria whose nickname is Gloglo, which I think is adorable!
Elena - like it, though in the U.K. she'll constantly have to tell people it isn't spelt Eleanor
Aita - don't know how to pronounce it, don't like sound of Ate-a or Eye-ta though
Saveria - like it
Matilda - LOVE IT!
Severina - I don't like the 'sever' sound, it's not a nice word

Louis - really like it, suspect there might be a few though due to the royal baby!
Sebastian - like it
Alexander - love it
Matteo - like it
Lorenzo - don't like it
Severin - don't like 'Sever'

What's your opinion of Matteo Vs Mattia?

Love Matteo, don't like Mattia though. I think it's the lovely 'Ay-Oh' sound in Matteo that makes it so nice. 'Ee-Uh' just isn't as nice.

One of my father's middle names was Severino. I rather like it. Gloriana is a bit Elizabeth 1st. What about Analissa? Ornella for a girl? Allessandro. It depends how Italian you are, ie, is the name going to need to be used in both languages? I had a zia Luisa which works for both languages.
