Which name do you prefer out of the 3?

Alberto, Valentino or Leonardo?

Nicknames would be Bertie, Tino & Leo?

They’re pretty unusual first names so it depends on how it would flow with the second name for me. I appreciate you might not want to tell us that though. Going by the nicknames he’d be called I’d definitely go for Valentino. Leo I think is quite boring and common. Bertie to me is more of a dogs name and makes me think of the muppets character.

Are you Italian OP? My favourite is Leonardo. Love Leo.

Gigi97 · 26/03/2022 12:51

Yes we are an Italian family living in the uk. Surname is obviously Italian too x

Leonardo.
Nn Leo or Lennie.

They're all great in different ways I think.

I absolutely love Italian boys names. All lovely choices but I’d probably choose Valentino/Tino. I’m not sure where you’re based (I’m in the SouthEast) but Leo is probably the most most popular boys name I’ve been hearing in the last 3 years. Good luck.

Alberto

Leonardo/Leo. Love it. Very cool.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 26/03/2022 14:46

Valentino/Tino

Alberto

DramaAlpaca · 26/03/2022 14:50

Leonardo

Luredbyapomegranate · 26/03/2022 14:51

Alberto - Because Bertie is unusual (uk Alberts are usually Alfie).

I like Leo but it’s so popular
Not keen on Valentino/Tino, it also has quite a feminine vibe, if that bothers you

KylieCharlene · 26/03/2022 14:53

Leonardo

ThatPosterIsSoRight · 26/03/2022 14:56

Valentino, definitely

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/03/2022 15:00

I like Valentino best as I really like Tino, it has a cool vibe

carefullycourageous · 26/03/2022 15:01

Alberto

contractsandnappies · 26/03/2022 15:02

I recently met someone with a little boy Valentino nn Tino and thought what a fab name that was, so that gets my vote.

RestingMurderousFace · 26/03/2022 15:02

Love all of them!

Wishingthreestonesaway · 26/03/2022 15:03

Valentino is gorgeous.

juliainthedeepwater · 26/03/2022 15:29

Valentino!

FixItUpChappie · 26/03/2022 15:43

Leo is too popular....I'd go with Alberto, Bertie is a super cute nickname

mishmased · 26/03/2022 15:44

Valentino

duck3914 · 26/03/2022 16:01

Alberto or Valentino, Leo is very very popular in the UK at the moment

canyoubelievethat · 26/03/2022 16:01

I like Alberto.
