Sister for Liliana and Francesca

Help please! Third baby due in 2 wks and found out by accident in a scan that it’s a girl (others were surprises). I’m delighted it’s a girl but am running out of names! Second was born with a rare genetic condition so it’s been a traumatic and difficult time for us.

For context re name, we don’t have middle names for the other two girls as they have my maiden name as their middle name so it needs to go with a common English surname.

My two all time favourite names are Isabella and Lucia but I can’t use them as both are babies I know who have passed away :-/

what pronounceable but pretty, Italian sounding names are there to be a sister for Liliana and Francesca?! I have Italian family hence the connection

I was on holiday a couple of years ago and heard a mum calling to her daughters, Liliana and Valentina, and thought they were such beautiful names.

@Sulkyatforty I know two Gabriellas. They are always introduced as Gabriella. Their parents always call them Gabriella so everyone else does too. Eldest one is a teen now and occasionally school friends say 'Gab' her mum gives them the look and they now know not to say this in front of her 😂 It is a beautiful name and sounds lovely with your two beautiful names. Go for it!

Love the previously suggested Marina (sea), Clara (light) and Raphaella (after the archangel)

First thought was Cassandra although not Italian.
