Help - different boy's names

[monkeysmama]

Okay so we've bought the books (yes plural) and actually read them and nothing has grabbed us so far. We have a list of girls names we both really like - each one a bit different. But without actually finding out (decided not too after MUCH debate)sure it is a boy and have no ideas on names at all.

1. We want something different - we both have unusual names and are pleased we do.
2. We don't want anything chavvy.
3. An Italian name would be good (Italian ancestors)
4. Nothing that will sounds stupid pronounced with strong London accents
5. I like the letter "E" - Elijah, Elliot, Ezekiel are some of my favourites but DP has vetoed them all.

Any suggestions very gratefully received!

Paolo ? Francesco ? Luca ?
Eduardo ?

Luca is becoming really popular here for some reason - not sure why. Paolo I don't like. Francesco is nice - I might run that by DP. For some reason I have a serious adversion to the name Edward and it's variations! Thank you though.

Ernesto?

Alessandro/Alexander? (not sure of Italian spelling)

Its has lots of diminutives, Alex, Sandro, Sandy, Lexy, Xan, Xander

Perhaps Luca is popular cos of the character in ER???

there's a half Italian boy in town called Francesco - I really like Fran as a short version..love Italian names - I wondered whether I could have got away with one for ds as I have a smidge of Italian blood !

Ezra?

Domenico - shortened to Nico?

Arturo ?
Giancarlo

Edward (not really 'different' but I don't know that many, and I certainly know more Elliots.

Edwin.

Edmund (which I really like).

I like Marco for an italian sounding name, I know someone called Marco Alessandro and think both names are lovely.

my very fave italian name is Fabio

would not use it now due to darn football

Giacomo
Amadeo
Ezio (pronounced "Etzio")
Elario
Ernesto

All Italan names. (My personal favourite is Amadeo.)

Luca is popular where we live (South of France) as well.

one of my friends has a Lorenzo, which they shorten to Enzo

Aldo (I had an italian boyfriend called Aldo)
Rocco
Fabrizio (spelling?)

Ricardo
Emilio
Olivio
Elmo (love love LOVE Elmo, but I already have an Elijah/Eli so can't do it. Use it for me eh?)

Large Italian community here.At school I can think of Enrico,Vincenzo,Gianluca,Allessandro,Marco,Lorenzo/Enzo, Nicola (boy),Luca, Paulo

SIL just named her son Caiden

Enilio -my son is called this and we shorten it to Emi

sorry - emilio not enilio

I like Wolfgang, Gabriel and Milo

Pietro
