Sounds really tacky.

I am half Italian as well, I love everything Italian. But naming someone Italy is kinda odd. Not bad, however. I could see some stars today doing that, It's not bad sounding and not horrible. Italia is better though.

I also know a little girl named Italy! Gorgeous little girl, but I hate the name. I think it's tacky and just plain strange.

I think it's horrible. Italia would have been immeasurably better.

My parents are from Italy, and I don't think I would ever name my kid Italy.

That said, I would never use America, Brooklyn, Geneva, etc as names either. It might just be that I am not really into place-names.

In short - I don't like it. Sorry.

Better than Burundi and Kazakhstan, to name but a few, but still not suitable for humans.

Its as dumb as Holland and Ireland.

It's weird and random. Italo and Italia are indeed used, but many people find them a bit too "patriotic" these days (fellow Italian btw).

I prefer Italia!
