Anglo/Italian names. Final list, opinions please

[chewbacca83]

Hi we are due a baby in a few weeks and have a list of girls and boys names. We have narrowed down to a few of each. Would love opinions.
Boys: Bruno, Matteo (Matt), Massimo (Max), Noah.
Girls: Vanessa, Mary, Anita, Nora
Thanks in advance!

I love Matteo and Vanessa. Beautiful names

I love Matteo.

I don’t have a favourite of your girl names but they all seem fine 🙂

Love Bruno!

I like Matteo and Vanessa best.

Nora is very cute also. Both Nora and Bruno are very cute on children but also flow through to be mature names on adults.

I like Matteo and Anita best!

I like Bruno and Matteo, and Vanessa and Nora

I love Mary!

Well it's good most of the names seem to be going down well. I really don't want a name that's cute on a baby but not serious on an adult if you see what I mean. Matteo seems to be popular. I have always loved the name Noah and am pretty annoyed it's suddenly got super popular in recent years!! I would like to avoid 10 Noah's in the same class. Same reason we discounted Sofia unfortunately because it's a beautiful name.

Vanessa and Massimo are my favourites.

Matteo and Vanessa are my favourites.

If we chose Bruno do you think it matters that our last name begins with O? The initials will be BO. He would have a middle name too likely beginning with R

Teo is a nick name for Matteo in Italian (in the south of Italy anyway)

I like Matteo and Nora best x

Bruno: I have a granduncle named Bruno he's an absolute bastard which is probably why I personally don't like the name...

Matteo (Matt): popular but very nice! It's also on our list.
Massimo (Max): I prefer Massimiliano/Maximilian but it's nice.
Noah: nice.

Vanessa: nice.
Mary: I prefer Maria but it's nice.
Anita: very nice. Anita Garibaldi might be an interesting namesake for your LO:)
Nora: very pretty.

I really like Matteo, Noah and Norah. Have you thought of Cara for a girl? Really pretty and means dear in Italian.

Matteo and Vanessa. Lovely names.

I like Mattel and Anita best of your list.
Can I just mention Lucia which means light? It’s so pretty and the one I know is amazing!

Matteo!

Massimo is the most beautiful name.

Matteo and Nora or Vanessa

Love all of

Bruno is a dog name but the rest are lovely. Especiallu like massimo and nora

Matteo and Anita are my faves!

I'd personally avoid BO... but it probably doesn't matter

Matteo is lovely. it's extremely popular for little boys in Italy, don't know if that bothers you.
Massimo/Massi/Max is gorgeous. Noah is nice but anecdotally there seem to be a lot around.
Personally, the BO initials, the Sacha Baron Cohen film and Bruno Mars would put me off Bruno.

Vanessa is really lovely.
Nora is nice (and for me, even better as a nn for Eleonora which is really beautiful).
Anita is fine but feels a bit 1970s.
Mary is classic, Italians would probably just call her Maria.
