Help[Opinions] Re: New Names for Italian Babies
in reply to a message by mirfak
Hi !!
Allegra: Yes, it is more like Joy.
Siria/Syria: I think they are strange. They remeber a country which is devasted by war..I would not use them.
Yeah..Diletta is like Désirée. It is nice!
Aurora is better in Italian yes. Alice is worst because it is the same word for "anchovy".
Giusy is the NN for Giuseppa.
I dislike it as full name.
Enea is the variant of Aeneas. You are right!
Zeno is pronounced DZE-no.
Matteo and Mattia: I dislike both but it is like saying Matthew and Matthias.
Do you like Asia? I dislike it.
Yeah Francesco is in the top10 for more than 10 years!
And it is still so popular..
Mia..well..I think that the link with "my, mine" is immediate. But I've never thought if it is judged as a NN for Maria. It could be..I don't know. It is very modern..
I prefer other names yes..
But I like some English names that are strange to you as well :)

Alice, an anchovy?
!!
Well, I don't like the name Alice and that is just one more reason not to. Yay? haha
I think of Matthew and Matthias as the same name basically. I guess maybe they're not if they refer to different bible characters, but that's not something I'd think about.
I sort of like Asia.. well, I would like it more seriously if it weren't the name of a continent. I like the simplicity of it and the zh sound that is natural even in English. Not a lot of English names have that sound and most of them, I don't like. I kind of like it spelled Aja too. A "guilty pleasure" sort of name maybe.
I thought Siria might be a feminine form of Sirius. That's probably artificial, but I bet it would be used more here if not for the country.
