Re: Italian Names - What do you think? (Longish)
in reply to a message by Alyia
I love Italian girl names, since I love frilly names in general. Italian boy names don't really appeal to me as much.
Girls:
Adelina -Eh, a bit cutesy for me. Pretty, though.
Annabella -Pretty, but a bit too frilly. I love Annabel!
Bianca -Don't like this one at all
Catarina -Like Katarina but this looks funny to me.
Eleonora -I love the name but prefer it spelled Eleanora.
Evelina -Eh
Flora -Hate it
Giada -Pretty sound but it's very trendy and the spelling is very non-intuitive.
Luisa -Can't stand, sorry
Maria -I hate this for no real reason, but it's been growing on me a little lately.
Natalia -Stunning!
Norina -Don't care for it at all
Regina -Can't stand, sorry
Seraphina -I really adore this!
Serena -Love
Sophia -LOVE!
Valentina -Only as a middle name
Veronica -See Maria
Boys:
Alessandro -Nice
Angelo -Hate Angel names
Carlo -Looks incomplete, and I don't like Charles or any variants.
Carmine -Looks feminine
Emanuele -Nice
Francesco -Eh
Leonardo -Hate it but I LOVE Leo
Luca -LOVE this!
Matteo -Love this too
Nicodemo /Niccolo / Nicola -Nicodemo isn't terrible. Niccolo is NMS and Nicola is feminine to me.
Paolo -Hate
Rocco -Absolutely not
Rodolfo -Hate it
Santino -No
Valentino -Definitely not
Vincente / Vincenzo -Vincenzo is quite cool, but I hate Vincente.
