Michela (mee/KEH/lah)- nice sound, but it sounds like Michelle-a to me as an English speaker and then just dated.
Iva (EE/va)- cute name.
Carlo
Sebastiano (seh/ba/STYAH/no)- prefer just Sebastian. and styah is a weird sound to me, kind of hard to make. sti-ah is more what I would say as a native english speaker. Sure it sounds nice in Italian.
