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!

Matteo and Mary
Mary is very beautiful and timeless!

I would avoid BO. Kids can be cruel.

I really like the name Bruno but I don't want my child to be bullied! My mum just found a lamp from my childhood nursery with Bruno bear written on it. It seems like fate!

Do you live in uk or Italy?

Could he have the name ? bruno O.....

So the initials are ?BO

But call him Bruno but it is actually a middle name as far as initials are concerned

Schools will call him anything you want and quite often in my DH classes the children were called by their middle name

What is so bad about the BO initials? What am I missing?

It’s a commonly used abbreviation for body odour.

Oh... Hm. That's a bit unfortunate. Not as bad as BJ, ASS or STD but still...

But Bo is also a given name, isn't it?
The OP could add a middle name. Or use it as a nickname but call him Bruno (as a pp suggested)...

Matteo and Vanessa.

I like Gioia too for a girl.

Mateo and Vanessa.

We are in the UK. I do love Matteo and Vanessa as well

Bruno and Nora

Mattero and Nora!

Matteo* oops!
