I like all of them, but I think Antonia is the only one that I could see on a non-Italian.

Antonia: I like this. I know a girl with this name (she is not Italian, she is Swedish like me)
Carolina: Would it be pronounced as Caro-line-a or as Caro-leena in USA? It is a popular name in Sweden, spelt Karolina and pronounced Kah-ro-LEE-nah.
Grazia: I like this name too and I would not worry about it being Italian. Isabella is also Italian and look how popular this name is.
Consolata: This is too much, not too Italian, but too much of a virtue name.

Niccolò: I like this name too but I have a feeling that Americans dislike accent marks, so I think it would be misspelt.
Paulo: I like this name too, though I would probably just use Paul.
Placido: I immediately think of Placido Domingo. Also, this sounds too much like a virtue name.

Consolata

I think Antonia and Carolina would work on a non-Italian. I think the others may be too "ethnic."

Yea I think that the name Carolina and maybe Antonia could be used for a non-Italian person. Yea Consolata is to much. Though it's a nice name. I would never use it for a non-Italian person. I also like Niccolo.

I love love love Antonia & especially Carolina!!!
So pretty!!! They'd work for anyone!
