HelpRe: Italian names 2017! - 7
in reply to a message by Felie
I love Clara. It's one of my favorites. I would definitely go with Clara! I also like Matilda, it's elegant and strong. But Matilde is so common in Italy, I bet she will have to say all of the time 'No, not Matilde, Matilda!'. Viola is nice but I only really love the English pronunciation of VY-o-la (as in Violet with an A). In Italy it is very overused for babies. I would go with Clara!

Hi !!!
Yes you are right!
A Matilda always has to say that because Matilde is the usual variant.
Viola as VY-o-lah is...horrible!
Well..I say that because in Italian there is a illness called vaiolo (smallpox) which has the same pronounciation but with an o instead of an a TT

Hmmm yes, I understand. It is not on my list right now anyway. I just like it. But this is good to know!
