HelpRe: Choose one - my favorite Italian names :)
in reply to a message by Perrine
1. Raffaella - Raphael is a long time favorite, and I like all versions of it
2. Eleonora - I like saying it
3. Gemma - points for simplicity
4. Gelsomina - points for being unusual/interesting, plus nice sound and meaning, but I don't like how 'gel' stands out at me; I might prefer it spelled Jelsomina
5. Eliana - boring, but okay
6. Valeria - good meaning, and Valerie is okay, but this version reminds me of malaria
7. Aurora - evocative, but I don't like saying it
8. Giada - I don't like the sound that much; Gia "Ja" is a little confusing in English
9. Isabella - boring, plus I have a few negative associations and don't like the meaning; otherwise, it's pretty...I can remember a time I liked it.
10. Annalisa - Anna is good, but I apparently hate Lisa enough that this is last
They're all okay names.
eta: oh, and I forgot Caterina...I'll say that ties for #5.
