Re: Italian family with 13 kids
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
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.
