Hi there

Looking for English or Italian boys names for baby boy to go with Italian surname.
Finding it tricky as many of the good ones are 'taken' (close friends with kids have already used Matteo, Mattia, Alessandro/Alexander, Lorenzo) and others don't really carry over well. I.e. Italian boys names ending in 'a'/'e' sound like girls names in UK, any English name with 'th'/'h' in it would be mispronouced in Italy etc!

Leaning more towards Italian names as they are pronounced and written phonetically...any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

I really like Luca too, although it does make me think of dreamy Dr Kovac in ER

Also now a guy called Fabrizio, who we shorten to Fabi

What about Giacomo. It can be shortened to 'Jack'.

Many thanks for all of these great suggestions!
Sent the link for the thread to DH for him to take a look too but think he's stuck on Francesco - nothing wrong with that, I just wanted to get some more ideas!
Not even sure what we're having yet but girl's name is pretty much decided so thought we should sort out an alternative
Anyway, when the time comes will let you all know what we go for.

Many thanks once again!!!
