I've never been too particular about the nationality of a name, but I do think about the prevailing accents about those around me. I wouldn't want to have to repeat over and over again how to pronounce my child's name and how to spell it, but I think most of these names could easily translate into a British or New England setting. Although, I think you should avoid letters that have different sounds in English and Italian (like how two l's in Spanish makes a completely different sound than in English) and the name Ottavia, because she would probably be nicknamed "Otto".
