4. Giulia, this is hard. I like the look of Julia more, but Giulia was name of my great grandaunt
5. Both, I like Isabel more, but Elisabetta is another family name
6. Caterina, for family reasons, but Catalina is also nice

1. Marianna
2. Carlotta
3. Matteo
4. Julia (but I prefer the English/Italian pronunciations)
5. Isabel
6. Caterina
7. Juan
8. Clara
9. Jaime
10. Alejandro (but a very tough choice!)
I prefer double letters when it's an option, since they're closer to my native French, but otherwise lean towards the Spanish ones because the pronunciations are more intuitive for me because I also speak Spanish. With Italian names, I always want to pronounce CH as an SH instead of a K, and pronounce IU or IO as two separate sounds.

I prefer the Italian spellings but it might just because it’s what I’m used to. Though Catalina is extremely sweet.

An interesting mix. I didn't expect myself to like so many Italian versions.
