What would be the best name for my daughter?

So my daughter will be born in the UK, but has Italian, Filipino and some Spanish ancestry.

Her last name is Italian.

Here are our choices:

Giuliana Vittoria

Giorgia Vittoria

Vittoria Seraphina

Vittoria Odessa

Which one sounds best? Or are these all bad and I should start over?

I even tried to generate a photo what she would look like (based in my older son) 😅 but I still could not pick which one would suit her best. Please help!

Id go for Victoria, not Vittoria.
And a shorter middle name like Nina, Mia, Clara.

I quite like Giuliana, but with a shorter middle name x

I like Vittoria Seraphina best
Also like Giorgia but you’ll probably have a lot of people spelling it Georgia in the UK

I like Giuliana best of the first names, Vittoria next, not keen on the others. But Giuliana is going to lead to a lot of spelling mistakes / queries and probably get shortened to Jools. I would also go with a shorter middle name.

I loooooove Vittoria. Sadly far too British looking to pull it off. Having said that, my favourite from your options is Giuliana Vittoria is my favourite.

Blueroses99 · 14/09/2026 14:19

I think any of them will work in the UK as they are easy to pronounce and are lovely names. While people may initially mis-spell the names if they hear them first (Victoria, Juliana, Georgia) that isn’t a reason to avoid using them or anglicising them.

Giuliana 😍

Julynian · 14/09/2026 14:22

Mixing them up again, my choice would be Vittoria Giuliana, lovely!

Comeonbabylightmyaga · 14/09/2026 14:28

I love Giuliana Vittoria.

Vittoria is a beautiful name but Giuliana is my favourite.

Erase any connection to their ancestry?

This is my favourite too

Giuliana Vittoria. Stunning! Both easy to pronounce, wouldnt worry too much about that especially if youre in a big city like London?

MabelAnderson · 14/09/2026 14:39

Well all beautiful names, but English people use the explosive T so Vittoria will sound different in English. Giuliana is easier for English speakers although they won’t lightly sound that first i.
Like pps I would go for Guiliana Vittoria . Gorgeous !

Twoshoesnewshoes · 14/09/2026 14:58

Guiliana Vittoria is lovely

StationJack · 14/09/2026 16:20

If you are going to be based in the UK, Giuliana and Giorgia are likely to be misspelt frequently. Guiliana is highly likely.
Vittoria is fine but might get mixed up with Victoria, and long names tend to get shortened. I like Giorgia best but would spell it Georgia.

The names are a bit too Italian for me - the baby will have a completely Italian name but only half Italian.
Friends who are Filipino or part Filipino all have 'RC' or virtue names, and I'm basing it on only a few people.

Not sure about Odessa but it would be a middle name, which aren't much used.

happylittlefruit · 14/09/2026 16:23

I think they're all lovely actually! Odessa is my favourite though so if it was my choice I would go Odessa Giuliana which is not one of the options 😂

JMSA · 14/09/2026 16:39

Giulia.

StationJack · 14/09/2026 16:51

Giulia is nicer than Giuliana. Giulietta is pretty and it's a pretty car Smile.

StationJack · 14/09/2026 16:52

Does your son have an Italian name?

24Dogcuddler · 14/09/2026 17:12

Giuliana is beautiful.

MarzipanAngel · 14/09/2026 17:17

Giuliana Vittoria.

I think Vittoria will be misheard as Victoria and Giorgia will get Georgia. People might struggle to spell Giuliana but I doubt it will be mistaken for another name. Plus it’s beautiful.

’Any’ connection to their ancestry? Hardly.

The child will be born in the UK and, yes, I would change a sound in the name because of that and still keep the full name sounding as natural as possible in Italian/ Spanish/ Filipino. Personal opinion.
