Italian middle names - girl

[CountryGirl36]

We are due our little one any day and are naming her Cleo.
My mum is italian and would love to have an italian middle name.
We like Isabella but stuck for any others! Help!

What about using your mum's name or a variant? Surely you are Italian too?

Donna

Depends on the surname?
Sofia, Milania, Eva?

Milania isn't a name I've heard of - Milena and Melania yes. Donna I would avoid for obvious reasons (sorry!) How about name connected with her birth month (if possible)?

What about Lucia? I adore this name, one of my favourites. Cleo Lucia is lovely.

Valentina

Op

You can google this.

I'd pick a family name and go for one with a real italian sound not the ones that are fairly mainstream here.
Your nonna's name perhaps.

Thanks all. Mum is Marilyn Teresa but wanted something different. No family name - nona was Carmen but cousin used that already

My Italian ex SIL is called Floriana which I think is just beautiful.

Marilisa - uses parts of both of your mums names without actually being her name?

Ilaria

Giulia or Giovanna?

'Guilietta or Pietra
Silvia
Ilaria
Alessandra

My suggestions might be a bit dated

Lina or Gia.

How about Agostina (if born in August)? Or you could choose the saint's name for the day she is born - bit of a risky strategy as some of them are pretty out there! m.paginainizio.com/onomasticimob.php

We are thinking Giada for a middle name. Baby will have my Italian surname (Paternal side of my family are all Italian), I’m not just randomly picking Italian names to be a bit different

Giulia
Giovanna
Rosa
Rosalba
Federica
Susanna
Agnese
Alessandra
Sabina
Romana
Marina

Alessia
Danna

Cleo Elena.
Cleo Isabella.
Cleo Ilara.
Cleo Sofia.
Cleo Valentina
Cleo Veronica.
Cleo Aurora

It's been suggested a couple of times already but my first thought was Cleo Giovanna.

Sorry about the typo, I meant Giulietta.

Marisa is nice (Mari lynTere sa)
