I am almost 24w pregnant with my second child. Another girl and can I think of a lovely name to match Alessia (Italian). Any ideas? We are looking for another nice Italian name but cannot think of any?

Vita.

Don’t use a ‘giu’ name if you live in the UK. It will be permanently misspelled (bitter experience).

Lindacraig14 · 04/02/2020 09:07

@EstebanTheMagnificentmy daughters name is misspelled all the time now. It’s so annoying

Valentina is a boys name I believe.
My dd was born on Valentine’s Day and we used Valentine as one of her middle names and several people have told us that Valentina is a boys name but I’ve no idea if it is, sounds too pretty.

I love Lucia and Gia.

Zoflorabore · 05/02/2020 15:17

Dozy me! It’s Valentine that’s the boys name.
I knew there was some significance of people mentioning this to us!

GaaaaarlicBread · 05/02/2020 15:20

How about Emilia ? Emilia and Alessia sounds lovely . One of the names on our list if we have a girl is Alessia ! So lovely to see that it’s a liked name 💕

Lindacraig14 · 05/02/2020 15:25

I have a cousin called Emilia same spelling too.

Valentina is on the list. Gonna make a new 1 later on with every name on here and see what the hubby thinks x

Ok so I’ve wrote 22 names down and so far the hubby isn’t keen on any apart from 1 he said he doesn’t mind. He likes Carina but he’s like 30% sure. Officially back to the thinking

Astrid, not Italian but still a lovely name and will go well with DD’s name.

It's not your job to run around like a loon finding every name under the sun then presenting them to His Highness for veto, you know...

Tell him quite cheerfully that you will be making a list of, say, 10-15 names to choose from. So far, it looks as if only your names that you've found and like are on the list. So if he doesn't start thinking and putting in some legwork of his own, then he will have no names of his own choosing on the list :)

If you do get to the point where it's D-day and he's saying no to everything, then that does not mean that he will get to dig his heels in and get the only name he's prepared to accept. Ohhhh no. What will happen, if you feel he's really not contributed to the discussion and is being obstructive, is that both he and you will veto, say, the two names you dislike most, and the rest will go into a hat.

Once again, point out that if it's your names on the list, then your names will be going into the hat... not his.

TLDR: he gets into the spirit of it or he gets very little say :)
