Italian & Polish names

I'm half Italian, and DH is half Polish.

I was thinking if we have a girl it might be nice to give her a Polish name and a boy an Italian name but can't think of good ones for either.

So far we have Luca

I can only think of nice girls names in italian: Francesca and Allessandra

Don't really like Tatyana. SIL is already called Katya

Then to go in a completely different direction I wondered about naming after GPs or our parents who are called:
Josef
George
Angel
Luciano
Angela
Felicidad
Julian
Daphne
Julieta
Giuseppe

Naming them Joseph or Josephine doesn't really appeal.
Nor does Julian or Juliette/Julianne.
My brother is already called Luciano.
I'm already called Angela.
Thought about Felix or Felicity (but not sure...)

It's soooo hard!

Landj - known where you're coming from with Ilaria - I wanted to call DD2 Aniela until someone pointed out to me "Oh, that's like Angela isn't it". Dead.
BTW Pola isn't pronounced like polar as in bear but to rhyme with "collar" (tho put like that it doesn't look too good either!)

I had some polish friends at school. One was called Irena (pronounced Irenna) she sometimes used to call herself Irenka. Also Danusha which is Diana, she had a sister called Ursula.
