[Opinions] Re: Some Italian names for you!
I love Amedeo and might seriously consider using it, if it weren't the name of a disreputable great-uncle of mine. Marcello is nice, and reminiscent of Mastroianni, one of my favourite actors. Ariel, unfortunately, is the name of a well-known brand of laundry detergent in Italy! Nati I've never encountered, I'd suspect it's a nickname.
All the others are ok, though not really my style, except for Jacopo, which is a bit cumbersome and reminiscent of Ugo Foscolo's 19th c. novel "Jacopo Ortis' Last Letters", the Italian counterpart to "Young Werther", a very boring book you're generally forced to read in high school.
