Help[Facts] 2597 Italian names...the submitted ones!!
Hi !!!
I'd like to help with them.
How are the criteria to make a name official.
For example: among all them there is Abbondio. It is not used for babies since 1998 at least and someone could think it is just left in the past...
BUT...
Everyone in Italy know it because it is a character of the second most read book in schools.
On the contrary I saw there some names seen only in the Calendar of Saints. You can give a source but if you show it to an Italian (also educated) he/she would answer: 'What? Does it exist? Here in Italy? Are you sure?'
And what about the dialectal names? The most of 'Venetian', 'Tuscan', 'Sicilian', 'Sardinian' names are just nicknames used in the past generations and colloquially. They are not official ones...
So what in your criteria make a name 'Italian'?
I'd like to help with submitted names but I can't see an order.
Maybe we can use a category 'dialect' or 'Medieval' to sort the most of them that are no longer used/they are obscure also to Italians/They occur only in a calendar?
Well..maybe they should stay as currently are ..submitted names are created to be a huge archive.
