Hi all my partner really wants an Italian name but I'm struggling to find a boy name that we both like. Have come across Ravello? What do you think?

Ravioli. Hard pass for me. There are far too many other gorgeous Italian names to settle on Ravello.

RevolvingPivot · 18/03/2021 18:54

Yep Ravioli

WonkyCactus · 18/03/2021 18:54

Yep, it reminds me of ravioli.

Beautiful3 · 18/03/2021 18:54

Awful name, reminds me of ravioli.

Dillybear · 18/03/2021 18:56

I don’t think so.

SageRosemary · 18/03/2021 18:57

Chocolate comes to mind

How about Raffaele or Ricardo instead?

Scarby9 · 18/03/2021 19:00

Ravel? As in the bolero?

ClaudiaWankleman · 18/03/2021 19:00

It's a beautiful place - one of my favourites in the world - but it's not a name.

KindnessCrusader · 18/03/2021 19:01

I love it. 🤷‍♀️

SittingAround1 · 18/03/2021 19:01

What about Renzo or Roberto

@SageRosemary How about Raffaele or Ricardo instead?

Raffaele sounds like Ferrari Rocher Raffaelo so it's no better

HamFisted · 18/03/2021 19:02

Makes me think of the white chocolate Ferrero Roche things.

CrumbsThatsQuick · 18/03/2021 19:03

Chocolate

StressedTired · 18/03/2021 19:03

I think it's nice, it didn't make me think of ravioli until I read the comments. I'd probably end up nicknaming him Ravi so think about whether you like that as a nn before using.

May2021Mummy · 18/03/2021 19:04

I like it

LivingDeadGirlUK · 18/03/2021 19:06

I quite like Ravi as a nickname but as a full name it just sounds like pasta.

siyhack58342 · 18/03/2021 19:06

Sounds like a type of biscuit? I dont know why it has that association for me.

Mankyfruitbowl · 18/03/2021 19:09

I think it's a type of soft drink, in Austria or Switzerland maybe?

Mankyfruitbowl · 18/03/2021 19:12

Apologies, I was thinking of Rivella Blush

Nice name for a girl though

XiCi · 18/03/2021 19:12

Its a chocolate isnt it? Even without the association I dont like it.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/03/2021 19:33

Very Italian sounding but it does remind me a bit of chocolate as well as the town. Having said that, I don't think it's at all unusable but like pp I think it will get shortened to Rav/Ravi (due to the popularity of similar nn Raf/Raffy for Rafael and Rafferty), so you need to like the potential nn's too.

Oodilallygolly · 18/03/2021 19:35

Reminds me of the chocolate

GothamGirl1970 · 18/03/2021 19:36

Ravello is an Israeli software product

ShipOfTheseus · 18/03/2021 21:19

Ravello is a famous town in Italy. I suppose if you can have Florence, you could have it as a name.

xxhetty · 18/03/2021 21:24

I do like the nickname rav and Ravi and I like Ralph I know it's a town but also is a name that means rebel which I quite like. I do like it but does make me think of the chocolate too something holding me back in it I think it's quite marmite!
