Name for an Italian/English baby boy

[Pucci]

Hello

I am addressing here both English and Italian speakers, what do you think honestly of the names below:

Orlando

Cosimo

Ludovico

Dario

Many thanks!

I'm afraid I don't like any of them much.

Gabriele?

Love Orlando but it's very posh in English and makes me think of Orlando the Marmalade Cat. Cosmimo I like, but I think would be confused with Cosima. Ludovico is nice, not so keen on Dario

Alessandro.

Marco

It's nice, but it has already taken by one of our relative
thank you anyway!

Not an Italian speaker but am not hugey keen on the selection.
It's all personal taste though so if you like them, go with your instinct.
I do like Paulo very much.

Ludovico is ace, plus it shortens to Ludo which is even better.

Massimo
Angelo
Gianluca / Luca
Gianfranco / Franco

I like Orlando and Cosimo.

good selection [[http://www.ourbabynames.co.uk/italianboys.php here]

love Massimo

I like Nicolas and Emmanuel.

Orlando and Cosimo are good.

Cosimo I love, love, love - couldn't get dh to agree though

Orlando is fine, I new one irl before Orlando Bloom but that is probably an assoication that most people will make.

Ludovico & Dario - don't really like these.

Alessandro is good though.

@Shneebly: Thank you for the very useful links!

Do you like the name Ariel?

Pucci - no, don't like Ariel at all. Are you Jewish?

i luuurve salvator and leon

Not keen on any of them tbh. I like Luca though.

@ Anna8888, no I am not but my family has got many Jewish connections - I just like the name...

Our children don't have Jewish first names, and nor does my partner (he is 100% Jewish), but lots of his friends' children do and it marks them out. I would be really wary of giving a very Jewish name to a none Jewish child.

@Anna8888: you made a very good point, didn't think about it - many thanks indeed!

I am super aware of it.

I will never take my partner's surname (super Jewish) because Anna + super-Jewish surname makes me sound like an old mitteleuropean . Not my self-image at all...

I like Orlando, Alessandro and Luca

Enzo?
