HelpRe: Female middle name wanted: J…consonant, bisyllabic, Christian/German, independent
in reply to a message by Crissov
I think you're asking a bit too much, since j is never pronounced in German the way it is in English, and J is not used in Italian at all.

We’re fine with J being pronounced differently by speakers of English and German as long as the name feels familiar, but you’re right, it’s quite unusual in Italian.
