I love Allegra, Its too bad its the name of a very popular allergy medication with very annoying commercials. I also like Arabella, Gemma, Lelia, Aviva, and Lorna for girls. For boys I like Lorenzo, Matteo and Lucius. ~~~~Kai~~~~

I love your names. Actually a lot of the names you have listed are on our list of possibilities for our baby also. The * ones are the ones we also have on our list.I LOVE:*Arabella - I've had lots of negative responses on this name, I LOVE it though.
*Aurelia - Same as above lots of negative responses, mostly say it's too hard to spell. :P
Caprice
*Francesca
*Gianna - The middle name we have chosen for our baby if it is a girl.
*Lucia
Seraphina
Giovanni - Gianni is the middle name we have chosen for our baby if it is a boy, Gianna and Gianni after Pope John Paul II.
Leonardo
Matteo
Lucius- LOVE this name so much, but won't go with our last name. I LOVE your names. :)

Fiamma, that's beautiful. I had no idea that was a name, although it's a word in Italian (means 'fire' or 'flame').

If Fiamma was the name, Fiammetta would be the nn for it- "etta" is the diminutive in Italian, e.g. Nicola/ Nicoletta.

I actually like Loredana as well, I must have missed it on the list. I'm not really sure how to pronounce it though.

I like them all, but I adore: Aurelia, Gemma, Gina, Mina, Piera, Renata, Serafina, Aurelio, Lorenzo, Marco, Matteo.An Italian girl's name that I've recently falen in love with is Giacinta. (You might like it too.) I also love Rupert. I try to like Lucius, but the word "luscious" always pops to mind. I prefer Lucian.

I actually prefer Jacinda over Giacinta, but it is very pretty. Although I have a feeling I'm mispronouncing both of them.

That's funny, because I started out loving Jacinda too. I met a young woman named Jacinda, born in the 80's J-loving era. I then decided that the "d" was a little dingy sounding, and that I preferred Jacintha as it seemed softer and cleaner sounding. From there it was a short leap to crystal clear Jacinta. I now am 50-50 between Jacinta and Giacinta. (Even though I know the J in Spanish Jacinta *should* be pronounced as an English "h," I still pronounce the two names similarly, with an English "j" sound.)It's funny the way a name nerd's mind evolves. I have way too much time on my hands.

It's not too far off for a language nerd to become a name nerd either, as is the case with me! - These names are so pretty. I pronounce Jacinta as ha-SEEN-ta (a woman from my Masters program was named this, she was from Galicia, Spain and is so sweet). Giacinta would be pronounced ja-CHEEN-ta in Italian.

Holy "ci" is pronounced "chee," BatmanHow could I forget that? I never studied Italian, but I am aware of the "chee" factor. That's what I get for studying French. Thanks for the gentle correction.
