Help[Opinions] Re: Some Italian names
in reply to a message by Felie
Hello :)
Natasha - it always makes me laugh that this is 'Ah satan' backwards. It kind of fits the Natasha I know :P I read that in Russia this is only used as a nickname, for Natalia. I personally prefer Natalia. I also prefer other names associated with christmas, which I love, such as Noelle. Natasha has a bit of a naughty girl/showgirl vibe to me, same as Lola. Maybe that's why I don't really like it. I love many Russian names but not this one.
Luana - I know you don't care for it ;) I have to admit that I like it. I have a soft spot for it, it makes me think of a lovely, free spirited person and of Hawaii so I think of beautiful beaches, sunrises and flowers.
Katiuscia - I think I prefer just Katia. Katiuscia is very cute but I find Katia a bit more elegant and substantial.
Marco - never cared for this. Did you know that this was also popular in Austria? It is a bit of a 70s/80s name. I know many.
Andrea - boy or girl? I was never able to warm up to this even though I know many lovely women named Andrea. It just always sounded kind of harsh and unfeminine to me. On a man however it sounds too girly to me because I knew female Andreas all my life.
Sandra - this was very common in Austria and Sandrine in France so I am bored by it. Alessandra is much nicer. Sandrine is nicer too.
Monica - this is very dated in Austria, usually spelled Monika here. I really don't care for it, but it isn't bad either. I like the similar Erika even though that is also dated here. The nickname Eri is so cute.
Daniela - this is also really 60s/70s in Austria and so I feel bored by it. I have known lots of Danielas from many countries.
Gianfranco - not a fan of this, it just doesn't appeal to me.
Antonella - this is probably one of my least favorite Italian names, sorry. It sounds like a brand or margarine to me.
Fabio - never cared for this.
Donato - same as Fabio.
Ruggero - same as Fabio.
Tato - it sounds like the name of a pet, as a nickname it's okay.
Giovanna - not bad but also not a favorite.
Priscilla - Presley is all I think of.
Nives - is it a girl? Reminds me of Nivea.
Paride - never heard of this before
Luca - it's ok, very overused.
Diletta - I know it has a nice meaning but it makes me think of Gilette, the company.
Gilda - ok, not my style.
Chiara - not a favorite but I like Clara.
Alessia - I prefer Alessandra.
Elisabetta 'Betty' - Elisabetta is cute. I dislike Betty.
Sorry for the short comments on the last group of names my fingers got really tired from writing, I wrote a lot today -_-

Hi Perrine !!!
This list is from tv shows.
I only like few of these.
Ruggero: it seems noble to my ears. This could seems dated and unusual but I think it is a strong name. Not my favourite but ok.
Priscilla ...Presley? Elvis? Why? Priscilla is unusual but it sounds refined to me.
Nives yes it is similar to Nivea but it is the Italian variant of Nieves (snows). I like its sound. Nives..so soft.
Paride PA-ree-de the Mythological prince. Yes it is unusual (59 new Paride in 2015) but it is very fascinating.
Diletta it is becoming trendy but I still like it. It is a sweet augural name with a clear meaning.
Elisabetta it has an obvious noble vibe like Isabella. I like it very much.
