Help[Opinions] Italian names
Hi !!!
Here there are some names..
Do you agree or disagree with me about them? Why?
I love..
Dante because of the Italian masterpiece.. THE Italian masterpiece in my opinion.
Beniamino because it is unusual but not weird as foreign forms of it are so common abroad. I also like the history, the meaning and the fact that in Italian means "favourite, darling" probably after the Biblical character.
I like...
Federico because it has a noble path behind it. The problem is the popularity. So many Federico everywhere.
Luigi because it has a nice sound and as for Federico it has an aristocratic vibe.
I'm interested in...
Stefano because has a nice meaning and a pleasant sound.. But it is too popular!
Pino (Pee-no) because it is a nickname, yes, but it also means "pine tree" so it is one of the few names of trees used for boys
Old-favourites:
Michele because I love all about it.. But not the Italian form! I dislike its look and its ring.
I'm neutral..
Marco because it is super common but has great links (i.e. San Marco in Venice)
Roberto because it is ok. It is ageless and evergreen. Nothing wrong with it. Well.. The problem is exactly that in my opinion it has not a soul.
Paolo because it is ok. Maybe too common and religious for me.
I dislike...
Maurizio because it seems dated and colorless.
Manlio because it is too weird plus I have no links with it.
Not my style...
Enzo because it is a nickname.
Piero same as above plus it is already in my family tree.

I love Dante too.

I used to really like Dante, now I don't like the sound as much, but I can see the appeal.
Beniamino is interesting. I've never seen that form, but it seems familiar enough, so I agree with you about it.
Federico is cool, but when I see feder* I usually think 'federal' related words, so I'd prefer Frederico.
Luigi is very uncommon were I live, and I don't really have an image for it other than 'Italian'. I agree it sounds nice.
Stefano is pleasant.
Pino reminds me of wine because it sounds just like pinot. The meaning is cute, though.
Michele... I don't like most forms of Michael, and it's not an exception.
Marco is okay. Yeah, it sounds common to me, but that's more by association with Mark / Marcus, which I like anyway.
Aw, I think Roberto has a soul, but admittedly I don't like Robert (in English), and Bob would be a cliche boring guy to me.
Paolo is okay. I think it sounds better than Paul, at least.
Maurizio is another one that mainly just looks Italian to me, but I like Maurice, even though that is dated, too.
Manlio looks way too much like 'manly' for me to take seriously...but it actually means morning? huh.
Enzo is okay. I like Piero, but it's not something I'd use either.
