Alessio - boring.
Michele - sounds nice, but I personally would not use it because everybody around would think it is a girl (I live in a french and german speaking area) -.-
Marco - nice.
Matteo - cute.
Franco - I like it a lot.
Bruno - old-fashioned.
Giorgio - elegant.
Leo (LE-o) - I love it.
Golfiero - sounds odd.
Maurizio - nice. I really like Mauro.
Gerson - strange.
Alan - okay.
Paolo - cute.
Andrea - I really like it. But a lot of people would again think it is a girl.
Loris (LO-rees) - I know one. It is an okay name for me.
Pietro - nah.
Francesco - I like it.
Gianni- I love it.
Mino - too cute.
Massimo - oh no. I can not stand it; not because of the name itself, but this was a bully at school...
Simone - again, everybody would think it is a girl.
Pino - short for what? For me it feels like something is missing.
Lorenzo - okay.
Andrej - nah.
Michelangelo - too much.
Maxim - nah.
Giacomo - I like it.
Adriano - nice. Reminds me of Adriano Celentano.
Davide - nice.

Walter (VAHL-ter) - okay. A very old-fashioned name here.
Ulisse (oo-LEES-se) - cute.
Tito (TEE-to) - too simple.
Giovanni - I like it.

I really like Giovanni. It has a musical quality to it. If I had a closer tie to Italy, I might consider using it.
Alessio, Marco, and Alan are very nice.
Fausto is sort of fascinating to me. Is the legend of Dr. Faustus popular in Italy or does it have some other association?

Bruno is a common dogs name.
Golfiero sounds like the parents have an obsession with golf.
Pino would be a cruel name in an English speaking county.
