Hi guys,

I'm 22 weeks pregnant so have lots of time but me and my dad partner can't decide on a name. We need your help! Which one do you prefer?

Lorenzo (Enzo)
Leonardo (Leo)
Federico
Alfredo (Alfie)

Thank you :)

Of yours, Federico

But my favourite Italian boy's name is Giacomo.

AdaColeman · 02/03/2019 18:41

All your list is super, but I especially like Lorenzo.

My favourite Italian boy's name is Salvatore.

ReaganSomerset · 02/03/2019 18:42

Lorenzo.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 02/03/2019 18:43

I’d go for Leo.

But shouldn’t you be asking on an Italian site?

EspressoPatronum · 02/03/2019 18:44

Federico from your list, but I love Matteo!

Saffzy · 02/03/2019 18:45

Lorenzo

mishgs · 02/03/2019 18:45

His Luca is my favourite

mishgs · 02/03/2019 18:45

That should have read Gianluca!

NameChange30 · 02/03/2019 18:46

My favourites are Leonardo/Leo and Lorenzo/Enzo.

Maybe OP lives in the UK, maybe they're an Italian-British couple, maybe she's asked on an Italian site too.

PuzzlingPuzzle · 02/03/2019 18:46

Love Federico. But I really like them all except for Alfredo which make me think of the disgusting American Italian chicken pasta dish.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/03/2019 18:47

What sounds nice with the surname?

coffeefee · 02/03/2019 18:47

Thanks so far guys :)

We really can't agree and I can't stop refreshing this thread Blush:)

Most Italians I know he an anglicised versions of their name - Fred and Alf?

NameChange30 · 02/03/2019 18:48

I don't like Alfredo either, and there are lots of Alfies

AloneLonelyLoner · 02/03/2019 18:48

I love Giacomo very much, but Enzo is adorable but good as an adult name too.

Flywheel · 02/03/2019 18:50

Lorenzo is my favourite. A word of warning about Federico. This is my friends name and he is regularly called Frederico, which drives him nuts.

MyNewBearTotoro · 02/03/2019 18:50

I love Leo although not so keen on Leonardo.

Alfredo/ Alfie is nice. Are you in Italy? I quite like Federico but in the UK I think people would initially read/hear it as which is what I did).

I like Lorenzo but really not keen on the nickname Enzo, makes me think of drugs (maybe I’m linking it with ‘Benzos?’)

MyNewBearTotoro · 02/03/2019 18:51

Sorry - That should say people would read/ hear Federico as Frederico.

coffeefee · 02/03/2019 18:51

Thank you for all your feedback. Really appreciate it :)

Lorenzo, but I also like Rocco

NameChange30 · 02/03/2019 18:53

Do you live in Italy/UK/elsewhere?
Are you both Italian (I assume at least one of you is)?
Which are the names each of you loves / likes / dislikes?

cravingmilkshake · 02/03/2019 18:55

My friend and her Italian husband names her son Giorgio! Which I liked.

Singlenotsingle · 02/03/2019 18:55

Federico would be my fave, but I like Antonio.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/03/2019 18:58

Tomasso?

Tweedypie · 02/03/2019 18:59

Vincenzo (Enzo)
