If we still do punctuation pets, they must be getting so many from you.

---

Alissa -- Alyssa is boring, even with an "i" - not bad, though
Ambra -- Amber is trashy, even in Italian
Anna -- it's an okay staple
Asia AH-zee-ah -- I don't mind Asia as a nickname, but as a full name it has very little to stand on
Azzurra ah-DZOOR-rah -- interesting. Wouldn't work too well in an English-speaking country, but I like it.
Chiara -- nms, but not bad
Cristina -- *yawn*
Donata -- nms, but not bad
Elisa -- a good, safe choice
Emma -- *yawn*
Francesca -- frilly, but not too bad
Gabriella -- *yawn*
Giorgia -- pretty
Giulia -- I went to high school with a Giulia. It's nice.
Isabella -- *double yawn*
Linda -- It's odd to even consider this for anyone under the age of 40, but it's not bad
Maria -- *yawn*
Marta -- I like Marta, mostly because I associate it with a spunky old Argentinian woman I know :)
Matilde mah-TEEL-deh -- cute
Nina -- *yawn*
Noemi noh-EH-mee -- LOVE. By far my favorite on this list.
Rachele rah-KEH-leh -- *yawn* but not bad
