Italian baby boy names

[Unicorn234]

Hit me with your ideas... 💙

Sergio?

I have a Valentino (middle name Alessandro)

Also love Rafael
Francisco

Pepino means cucumber? But the meaning may be in Spanish

I know a Giovanni too (known as a Gio)

My friend who is Italian has a wee boy called Domenico.

Be warned if your DS is going to grow up in the U.K. that for some reason everyone will insist on pronouncing the first syllable of a ‘Gio’ name as ‘jee-oh’.

Antonio
Stefano
Sebastian
Paolo
Domenic
Filippo

Not fucking Luca. That was one of 'my names' until it's been taken over by non-Italian British neds. Some even spell it Lucca. Arrgghh

Alessandro too. Love it.

Matteo

In my family:

Stefan
Domenico
Lorenzo (Enzo)
Matteo
Luca

Carmine is lovely too

We have a little one just turned six months and his name is Enzo, we absolutely adore it and knew there was no other name we wanted for him. His dads surname is Spanish so his name is Enzo Martinez and we love it ♡

Americo, valentino, allesando

Enzo is lovely

Some favourites of mine:

Francesco
Federico
Ludovico
Elio
Cosimo
Lorenzo
Valentino
Vittorio
Amedeo
Zeno

I also like Salvatore, Raffaele and Vito but they are very regional so it depends where in Italy your DP is from.

I would avoid Giovanni, Giacomo, Giorgio, Giuseppe etc as English speakers tend to pronounce Gi as Jee.

Piero
Ignazio
Gianluca

As mentioned upthread, Rocco is my favourite.

My boys are 1/2 Italian.

Too outing to say their names but extended family we have

Luca
Matteo
Giacomo (jack)
