Help[Opinions] LOL (m)
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
Guilty! I’m Italian-American and am aware of the dowdiness of those names in Italy, but I can’t resist (what I perceive as) their charms. Annunziata in particular is glorious.
Does Arcangela have a similar vibe, or is it older/weirder? I assume it comes off as intensely Catholic (and maybe pious or sanctimonious).

Arcangela is very uncommon and so doesn’t have the same vibe at all, it sounds frilly and a bit out-there, not necessarily sanctimonious. Concetta, Annunziata, Immacolata are old women in black who speak only dialect and go to mass every morning. They’re also extremely southern-Italian sounding, if I met one say in Milan I’d be 99% sure she had moved.
