New suggestions welcome too!

Thanks so much

But baby is half Italian with an Italian surname so what's the problem?

Only naff if not Italian with typical
British surname surely......

What about Aldo for a boy?

is the father italian?

it's tradition to name first girl or boy of all granchildren after their grandparents. 2nd boy/girls after their father/mother.

well, thats perhaps just in the central italy region.

Eva Beatrix

Arlo
Rafael

Not sure about the boy's middle names!

Eva Beatrix

Alessandro Henry

I should read properly-I missed the fact that your DH was Italian! In that case I take back what I said about pretentious for the Italian boy's names. Still dislike Austin, Jasper and Hudson and the girl's names.

Absolutely love Arlo!

Rafael for a boy

Rafaella for a girl

Thanks for the input - interesting to see what people think.

Further to some of the comments do people think:

Pia would lead to lots of teasing?

Eva is very popular/common now?

Luca is overused?

Milo is a tweenie?

They are our top four right now - middle names either Beatrice/Juliet or Henry/Antonio (family name).

ta

Pia would lead to lots of teasing? - Mmm not sure about that; depends what sort of school she'd end up in, I guess.

Eva is very popular/common now? - no - but it is a very pretty, timeless sort of name

Luca is overused? No - not in the circles I move in anyway; have met several Lukes and a couple Lucases (is that the plural?!!) but never a Luca.

Milo is a tweenie? Yes he is - but aso what!!! I liked Bella for a dd; we didn't use it but not because of Tweenie links!

pia will definately get teased.

antonio is a good name as can be shortened to toni
or changed to antonia(toni)/
antoinetta/
antonella(ella) for girl.

Eva Beatrix
Pia Juliet

Rafael
Luca

matteo austin i like,milo jasper, alessandro jasper

love sisily but would put with pia

(if t were my choice tho would be arlo raphael- that is fabulous! and pia juliet)

i have never met a luca

ids determined to tease will find something, if its not the name will be appearance but always something!

never met an eva either, but common does not equal bad

There is a bit of a disconnect between the first and middle names. The first names seem more European and the middle seem American (not an insult, as I am American).

Not keen on Sicily, but Cecily is great.
Isla and Eva are lovely. Beatrice is a nice middle name with these firsts.

Love Matteo, Alessandro and Luca, but they don't appear to go with the middle names at all.

Not keen on Everly, Sicily or Arlo only cos I like names that are real names iyswim.

If you like Juliet, what about Julita? I love Pia and Perla and also Pius/Cassius/Roman/Juno/Nico/Inigo for a boy.
