No I hate Italian names. My high school was mostly Italian and there was no end to the Guiseppes and Guilias and Francescas. Maybe if I was of Italian descent I would like them.

I love Italian names!

---

Claire - Chiara: I like Claire better. I've met a few Chiaras and I find the name gets tiresome after hearing it for a while.

---

Simone - Simona: Simona is adorable. I don't really like Simone.

---

George - Gorgio: Not a fan of either of them

---

Joe - Giusseppe: I like Joseph better than Giusseppe, but I don´t care about Joe as a nn.

---

Sophie - Sophia: I really like them both.

---

Emily - Emilia: Emily is so much better imo.

---

Julie - Julia: Both are very nice.

---

Anton/Anthony - Antonio: I don't like either.

---

Lucy - Lucia: I like Lucía much better.

---

Frances- Francesca: I'm with the Italians again.

---

Luke - Luca: They're both nice but not my style.

---

Edited: It seems I can't spell Giusseppe properly! I'll have to look for it in the data base.

I love some Italian names, but also love English, Irish and Spanish names

From your list, I prefer all the non-Italians names. But that doesn't mean I don't like / love the Italian ones too. And there are some Italian names that I prefer to the English / other version:

---

Ginevra I prefer to Jennifer
Benedetta I prefer to Benedicta
Constanza I prefer to Constance
Emilia I prefer to Amelia
Diana I prefer to Diane
Camilla I prefer to Camille
Juno and Junia I prefer to June
Domenica I prefer to Dominique
Angelica I prefer to Angelique

There are some Italian names I prefer over other forms of some names.

---

John - Giovanni - I absolutely hate John
Joseph - Giuseppe - Joseph I find boring
Anthony - Antonio - I know entirely too many Anthonys.
Lucy/Lucille - Lucia

---

And being Italian I also just love Italian names too.

Chiara
Simona
George
Giuseppe
Sophia
Emilia
Julia

Giuseppe and Giorgio, I believe, are what you want. :)

---

For the most part, no, I don't prefer Italian names. I'm not Italian and don't feel particularly attached to the country. So while I might like some, it's not simply because they're Italian, you know?

---

Of those, I do prefer Emilia to Emily, but that's because I loved Emilia in Othello.

---

Array

I prefer Julia and Sophia to Julie and Sophie. But I do not care for the rest of the examples.

---

I am fond of Lucia, Francesca and Emmanuella.

I honestly do like Italian names, however, with some of these I like the other form as well.
