HelpRe: Italian Names 2017! 3
in reply to a message by Felie
Lisa and Melissa sound a bit childish to me, although I think they're OK.
I prefer Leah to Lea. "Den lea" is old Swedish for "the mean one" which kind of destroys the name for me. It's a pity...
Lia is very cute! There is a Swedish actress (of Danish descent, I think) called Lia Boysen.
Ginevra is beautiful. I don't think I had heard it until I read Harry Potter.
BTW:
I used to have a classmate who grew up in Milazzo in Sicily, but she has a Swedish mother. Her name is Ingrid after Ingrid Bergman, because it was the only Swedish female name her father knew of. Her sister is called Lisa, I guess because it works fine in both Italian and Swedish.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
