It's fine, but rising massively in popularity. Two syllable names ending with an O as a whole are booming at the moment though. He'll share a classroom / clubs with Leo, Theo, Arlo, Hugo, Milo, Margot, Willow etc. and Enzo will blend right in.

I think it will date very fast

TracyMosby · 08/01/2022 23:11

Love it

RedCandyApple · 08/01/2022 23:24

Don’t like

As in Ferrari? Are you Italian

sandgrown · 08/01/2022 23:26

It is a shortened form of Lorenzo

FrancescaContini · 08/01/2022 23:26

Isn’t it short for Lorenzo?

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 08/01/2022 23:27

I can see it being chosen by people who think Ezra is too popular.

It's okay.

ofwarren · 08/01/2022 23:29

I'm not a fan. It sounds unfinished to my ear. Like a nickname.

Rekorderlig88 · 08/01/2022 23:29

It's. Our Italian greyhounds name bit I also know a child with the same name.
What about ezra

Wallabyone · 09/01/2022 09:51

If you're Italian, it's fine! I too thought it was short for Lorenzo? But I guess it's the same as Alfie, Theo, etc being the given names.

Vampire diaries fan?

That's where my brain went first. I do like it though. If I was still having children I can't say Damon wouldn't be on my possible name list for a second.

I know two Enzos and they are both dogs!

This. Unless you're Italian it's not particularly going to sound good with Smith or most English surnames.
Fleur405 · 09/01/2022 10:26

I love the full version of the name (Lorenzo - Enzo is a nickname) but I’m half Italian but I do find it a bit weird how traditional Italian boys names are becoming so popular here!

Same, only know a golden retriever called Enzo.
UserBot989 · 09/01/2022 10:29

I love it. Id go for Lorenzo as well so that if 'o' names badly badly dste they will he could use laurie / laurence / lorenzo

AdaColeman · 09/01/2022 10:32

If you are using it as a nn for Lorenzo then it’s fine, but I’m not keen on it as a stand alone name. It would be like Tommy or Jimmy, I don’t think diminutives work well as stand alone names.

Pinkywoo · 09/01/2022 11:10

Italian DH says Enzo is usually short for Vincenzo not Lorenzo, that would be Renzo.

I like it OP, but I think it does depend on the surname.

Gigi97 · 09/01/2022 12:35

My partner is Italian. Moved here 6 years ago. He says Enzo is a stand alone name in Italy, however some people also use it as a nickname for names like Lorenzo (Renzo too) or Vincenzo x

Yes if you have Italian heritage, it's lovely.

Also if partner it will be your surname so nice to have both 'sides'

Roselilly36 · 09/01/2022 15:18

I love it.

NuffSaidSam · 09/01/2022 15:24

It always makes me think of the Muppets/Sesame Street. It's sort of a mix of Elmo and Gonzo.

I know a few and it's doesn't raise any eyebrows, if you like it go for it.

thickthighs73 · 09/01/2022 15:26

Another yes (but would of say no if not of italian heritage)
