Re: boys' names that sound good both in English and Italian
I have a similar predicament. I need a name which sounds good in both Portuguese and English. Added to this my grandparents are Ukrainian speakers. At the moment we've agreed on with Ivan, Alexei, Claudia and Nadine/ Nadia.I completely agree that is harder for boys than girls!Some suggestions:Alessandro nn Sandro- I really love this and don't think it is too hard for English speakers.
Andrea
Antony/ Antonio
Adriano
Benedetto or Beniamino nn Ben
Carlo
Cristiano nn Cris
Frediano nn Freddie
Luca
Paolo
Leonardo nn Leo
Lorenzo nn Laurie
Ludovico nn Ludo
Massimo/ Massimiliano
Matteo
Nicolo
Salvatore nn Sal
Teodoro/ Teodosio nn Teo
Tommaso nn Tom
Vincenzo nn Vin or VincePerhaps you'll like one of these. I think the important thing is to get together a list of names you really like. Then you can start to take into account the complications and which you'd really use. I hope this helped somehwat.
