HelpRe: Gia, Giada, and Gianna
in reply to a message by Emily
I don't care for them. I live in an area that had a lot of Italian immigrants settle there in the early 1900s, and now a lot of little girls are being named this sort of thing, and it just seems very, very false to me. In a way, it's the trendy thing to do around here. You never see Allegra or Ottavia or Beatrice (Bay-uh-tree-chay), you get the American-watered-down-Italian Gianna because "ohmigosh", it's Italian, didn't you know? They are nice enough names, but for me, they just carry a negative association.

Don't worry, I didn't think you meant that, I was just clearing that up.
