HelpItalian family with 13 kids
I know of an Italian family with 13 children, 10 girls and 3 boys. I hope I'm not forgetting any...It should be the right order
Girls:
Marisa
Assunta
Titina (I'm guessing this is a nn for Immacolata?)
Patrizia
Elena
Isabella
Nunzia
Paola
Daniela
Boys:
Luciano
Ciro
Salvatore
The cute thing is that some of the names of the youngest siblings were chosen by the eldest sister, apparently
"We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”

Immacolata=Immacolatina=Titina, though thinking about it it might actually be Concetta.

I really like Ciro.

Is this family religious or is it typical for non-religious, even atheist, Italians to use names like Assunta, Immacolata, Nunzia, etc.

Maybe I should have specified they're all in their 50s and 40s by now, and working class. Without necessarily being ultra-devout, this kind of family would have been some what Catholic.

Would it be at all typical in this day and age to use names like that? More so if they are religious? Less so if they are atheist?

Those names have very much fallen out of use, even considering that in Italy some old names stay in use because of people still naming kids after their grandparents. But Nunzia, Assunta, etc feel both dated and very working class. Even religious people are going to just pick names they like, or family names.
The Marian names are also a very Southern Italian thing.

Hi Fiammetta !!!
They are twelve..isn't it?
Immacolata could be..but maybe Antonina too.
I tell you the truth..
I dislike this sibset..
These names are dated where I live and I have no relatives from Southern Italy so these names aren't my cup of tea.
But I like Isabella!
In Italy as you know it is still uncommon and not trendy as in the English-speaking world.
Here it has a royal vibe and this is the reason why I like it.
