It depends how Italian you are, ie, is the name going to need to be used in both languages?

Yes. Italian, German and English.

One of my father's middle names was Severino. I rather like it.

So do I. :) But I feel like Severin is a bit more versatile.

I'm unfortunately not a fan of Luisa...

Thanks!

Anna - boring I do feel like it's the 'plainest' one (not necessarily in a bad way)

Aita - don't know how to pronounce it, don't like sound of Ate-a or Eye-ta though

I-tuh / eye - tuh, yes. It's a form of Agata. :)

Thanks.

There's a Matteo at my DCs school - great name.

Of your girls names, I like Gloria the most. Unusual but easy to spell and pronounce, attractive without sounding frilly.

I like Anna, Gloria, Elena, Alexander and Lorenzo.

I have an Alec, OP.
Being called Alex has been an issue but it doesn't bother me. They stem from the same name and most of the time, everyone calls him Alec.
Alec is the Scottish diminutive of Alexander.
So if you're very Italian or Spanish (which I am guessing), you may want Alex instead.

I LOVE the name Matteo. It is one of my all time favourites.
Matilda is the best of your girls' names, imo.
Severina is lovely too, especially since it honours someone you love.

What about Alessandro/Alessandra?

Unusual but easy to spell and pronounce

I like that as well.

Alessandro/Alessandra

I feel like I should like it... But I've never met a nice Alessandra. And Alessandro doesn't sound that nice with an English accent (imo)

Thanks :)

Love Alexander - i know a 10 year old who gets called Xander or Zee. Severin is a cool middle name.

Love Gloria and Elena. I like Severina as a middle name.

Elena and Matteo 😍 Beautiful!

It's by the Mission.

Anna is beautiful and classic. Love Louis. But Severin and Severina are both fab too

You thanks for the link :)

But Severin and Severina are both fab too

I think so as well :) but I'm a little bit hesitant because of the 'severin' thing people mentioned... I hope it doesn't sound violent / like we're trying to raise a murdered? :(

Lucy I don't like zee but Xander is cute.

1st thanks 😊

*a murderer.

Not murdered.

Would you think it was strange? Unsavoury?

Anna- i like Anna, it's simple, understated, and works for a child and into adulthood. Pretty timeless name too.
Gloria - not for me, a bit dated, and I associate with Finding Nemo
Elena- great as a middle name.
Aita- lovely name but some people may struggle to pronounce it.
Saveria- not a fan.
Matilda- LOVE it! Strong name, but sweet too. Awesome nickname potential too with Matti,Tilda,Maddie.
Severina- nice name, not too many people in UK will have heard of it, but think it works well.

Louis- love this name and almost chose it...until the royals used it and now I'm put off.
Sebastian- loved this name too, but for me it's becoming too popular.
Alexander- love it. This is one of my contenders. It's a strong, classic name which would grow well with a child to an adult.
Matteo- nice alternative to Matthew, a bit too cutesy for me.
Lorenzo- don't like it, and can't put my finger on why.
Severin- a bit harsh sounding, but a nice nod to your family. Sev would be a cool nickname too.
