Help[Opinions] Re: Italian Names 2017! 12
in reply to a message by Felie
Francesco is pretty boring so names that would go best with it would be names like Anna, Maria, Giulia, Laura and Alessandra. Ginevra, Eleonora, Elisabetta, Alice, Ludovica, Camilla, Marta and Beatrice work too, but not as well as Anna and Alessandra.
But if I were her I would go for something at least a bit more exciting! Aurora is lovely but way too common in Italy. I would also stay away from Bianca which I love because it seems to be rising very quickly. Same with Mia and Noemi (love Noemi though).
I would go with Anastasia, Clara, Sole (not necessarily Maria Sole even though I like it too) Maya or Linda. Or maybe Miriam, Greta, Viola, Arianna or Matilde. Lara also kind of works, so does Gaia. Eva is cute.
I also like Azzurra and Allegra but next to Francesco they almost seem kind of crazy :P Same with Gioia and Giada they just seem out of place next to classic, ordinary Francesco even though they are popular too. Ohhh and Futura and Francesco? Hahaha sorry, but that seems so strange!
Ohhh and I have a question about Penelope. Does it work in Italy? Just wondering because of the Italian word 'pene' this seems odd to be suggested by an Italian. But it is in the Italian top 200, maybe because of Spanish immigrants? Or do you not hear the word too much when you say the name?
Some of the names seem quite dated and I am surprised they were suggested. I wouldn't name a baby Daniela, Stefania, Claudia, Monica, Michela or Ilaria these days. Virginia, not sure about this, I only know girls born in the 80s/90s with this from Italy but it is a classic I guess...
Many of the names seem to foreign next to Francesco, especially Chanel, Elisabet, Ingrid, Nicol (Nicole is better), Melissa, Nadia and Ines. Andrea is also not a good choice for a sister of Francesco. Rossella seems a bit dated too.
I know that Diletta has a nice meaning but it just makes me think of Gilette, the razor company :/ Not a good, international choice in my opinion. I also really don't like Sveva, Esmeralda, Valentina, Lucrezia, Diana and quite a few others. Ohhh and I despise Carola :/
