Giuliano

[Gigi97]

Thoughts on this Italian boys name? We have an Italian surname.

Just to add to my post -Was thinking of Jules as a possible nickname ….

I'd spell it Juliano in that case. Easier if initials are the same.

Lovely

I’m Australian. Plenty of Guiliano’s about but more likely older generations. NN usually Gino.

I don't like Jules. The spelling will probably cause issues in the UK. He'll get Juliano, Guiliano, Giliano, Guliano etc

Gino is nice

I'd prefer the spelling Juliano if your going to nn Jules

I think it's nice but I can imagine it getting a lot of misspellings in the UK. Depends on how much that would bother you.

I disagree about spelling it with a J - I think that would look weird with an Italian surname since there is no J in Italian. However it is quite long so I think I would prefer Giulio.

I like it.

I think the biggest annoyance will be people pronouncing the 'i' as a separate syllable. If that won't bother you then go for it.

It’s a great name.
and Gino is a great shortening.
not Jules.

Definitely don't spell it with a J! I prefer Giulio. Giuliano is already a diminutive.

I'd think that Juliano was spanish and would pronounce accordinglu.

Giulio is better than Guiliano

If spelling it with a G, I'd shorten to Giulio or Gino, if at all.

Jules is normally short for Julian. And I'd avoid different initials

I went to school with a Giuliano. It was a bit of a joke in our class that no teacher, upon reading his name aloud for the first time, could pronounce it correctly. Goo-liano was the most common mistake. He went by the nickname Jules, which (although I don’t like it) is a perfectly reasonable diminutive of the full name. I think the name Giuliano is rather beautiful - too good to waste by calling him Jules instead!
