Help[Opinions] Re: Italian Top30 - 2019
in reply to a message by Felie
Hello Felie!
Yes, I am surprised so many babies received top names. That's a high percentage. Italians seem to be very traditional.
I like Leonardo, Edoardo, Mattia and Elia. Most Italian boys names are too long and complicated for me. I prefer shorter names for boys. Also many Italian boys names are girls names in France and Germany such as Gabriele, Andrea, Simone or Daniele so they don't work for me personally. I am surprised that names like Francesco and Andrea are still so so common. They feel tired to me. I studied abroad and there were so many guys from Italy named Daniele, Salvatore, Francesco, Andrea, Giuseppe etc. my age so it is weird they are still so common for babies. Naming trends seem to change slowly in Italy.
For girls I do like Aurora, Alice, Beatrice, Sara, Gaia, Rebecca and Elena. Many of the others are also okay. Elisa rising surprises me, I thought it was overused in Italy in the 90s already. Same with Francesca, why is it rising again? :O Nicole feels super dated but maybe in Italy it is in fashion? Also Mia, doesn't it mean "mine" in Italian? Wouldn't that be weird? Or is it so high up because it is popular in the German speaking area in the North of Italy?
