Favorite Italian names?
Italy is my favorite source for names (in fact, I'm 3/4 Italian). I like a lot of the names used there, both common and uncommon. What are your favorite Italian names?I'll post mine later.

My favorite Italian female names are Beatrice (beh-ah-TREE-cheh), Fiammetta, and Lucrezia. These are pretty much GPs, though.My favorite Italian male name is Leonardo, which is actually in my Top 10.
