Some Italian friends of mine just had a baby boy and named him Enzo. With an Italian middle and last name.
I love it. What do you guys think?
If the baby was a girl, she would have been call Ciara.

I prefer Vincenzo and Lorenzo, Enzo looks a bit nicknamey to me, though I know it exists in its own right.

Are you sure it would have been Ciara? That's pronounced CHAH-rah in Italian. Chiara seems more likely.

I don't like Enzo as it's too product-like for me. Ciara (KYAH-rah) is sweet, and Chiara is alright.

I love Enzo! But I like it best as a nickname for Vincenzo.

I like Enzo, but would prefer it as a nn for Lorenzo. What is the baby's middle name? or are you not allowed to say?

I only think of that Sienfeld episode when he gets a horrible haircut and they watch edward scissorhands.

I have a good friend whose name is Ciara (pronounced like Kira)and everyone is always calling her (KEE-ar-a) or (SEE-ar-a) it gets annoying and I can't even tell which way you want it to be pronounced on this post.

Concerning Ciara

I know what you mean about the name Ciara. The one at my school with that spelling pronounces it key-air-ah. But since it starts with a C, everybody tries to say see-air-ah. Of course there's also Kiara (key-air-ah) and Kiyara (key-YAR-ah).

But I go to a predominantly black school so that may affect the way things are pronounced. (By the way, Ciara is the white girl if you're wondering.)
