[Opinions] Re: Some Italian names
in reply to a message by Felie
I like most of them, but many of them have a dated feel.
Irene we used for our daughter's middle name - with the Italian pronunciation as well.
Elena is getting very popular
Arianna is trendy
Beatrice sounds so much better in Italian
Gloria seems very old in the Italian way, but it is also dated in the US. Still usable.
Denise is just not appealing
Silvia is very mature feeling, so I prefer Sylvie.
Maria is almost a stereotype, but a lovely name all around
Agata works in Italy I think, but would be hard to pull off elsewhere
Angela is a traditional choice. I like it.
Jasmine I like a lot, but it works better globally than in the U.S.
Vittoria is lovely. Just darling.
Paola does have a dated vibe, but I like it a lot anyway.
Giulia... there are just so many that it's boring imo
Rafaella is elaborate enough that it cannot be boring, but there are also a lot.
Gabriele is classy.
Stefano is a bit boring.
Gianmaria sounds nice, but it's like too country or something for me.
Giordano is considered very chic where I am from. In some places it's considered kinda sleazy. I still like it.
Sandro - very nice for today. Simple and sleek
Claudio - Not a personal fan, but I can see the appeal
Aldo - Ha. I knew a couple growing up. This just makes me think of a cocky teenager.
Virgilio - Would not work so well where I live but it is interesting
Andrea - I really like this, but it is soooooo common.
Marco - again, common feel
Alessandro - Alessandra is getting popular so I think this might still work
Alberto - very dated, but kinda cool in an old-man way
Ferrante - Very cool
