Sicilian quintuplets
A young Sicilian woman, Jessica Sciacca (husband Gianluca) recently gave birth to quintuplets, 3 boys and 2 girls. Their names are:
Giuseppe Mattia
Luigi
Giovanni
Giada
Maria Pia
WDYT? Giada (pron Jada) sticks a bit out for me, since it's a relatively uncommon stone name and all the others are uber classic Italian names. Also I don't understand why Giuseppe is the only one who got a mn, or maybe he's going to go by both names (which would be a bit of a mouthful)?
- Formerly known as Murasaki-

I will bet that Giuseppe is the eldest, and thus named after his grandparents, giving him two names. That might be Maria Pia's deal too... named after the Grandmothers.
If it were me, I would shorten it though. My uncle Giuseppe goes by Pino.
I think Giada fits right in with current trends. Luigi actually stood out to me as being a bit more dated than the rest - which are all still in vogue. I adore Luigi though, so I love seeing it.

I'm not very familiar with Italian names...
Maria is the one that sticks out to me because it's the only one I see a lot.
Luigi makes me think of Mario Bros.
The three Gi- names stick out to me as a group (I esp. like Giada and Giovanni together), which makes Luigi and Maria seem mismatched in comparison.
I'm also wondering why only Guiseppe and Maria got a second name.

Definitely an uneven set, but I prefer that to a set where every name matches too much. I like all the names!
