The "mo" ending gives it a childish and unserious feel to me.

I heard of this name when I was watching an Italian cooking competition and again in "Luca". It's adorable, sadly here in Argentina it's faaaar to rare, and in the world must be too, except in Italy, of course, but it's very pretty, a colorful, beachy name.

My full name is Giacomo but everyone calls me Jake or Jack; especially when I'm in an English speaking country. I don't like "James" used for Giacomo: It sounds so different from the original version of my name. Jim or Jimmy are also so far from my original name and I dislike them. In Italian as nicknames for Giacomo we have: Giacomino, Giaco, Giachi and Mino. Giacobbe and Jacopo are another forms of Giacomo, because they have the same etymology and the same meaning.
The Italian pronunciation which is currently listed is correct except for the beginning. JYAH-Koh-MohAs you see, it starts with "Gia" (equaling: Jyah). There is no "JAH" in the Italian language. Without the "I" (key to the whole sound) it would simply be "Ga"-- the "G" would then be hard, "Gah." Let us continue. "O" is as usual, "O," for both found in the ending "Como."
Giacomo Leopardi (Recanati, the Marches, June 29, 1798 – Naples, June 14, 1837) was an extremely famous Italian poet, essayist, philosopher, and philologist. Along with Dante Alighieri, he's considered to be one of Italy's greatest poets. His most notable works are the "Operette morali", the "Zibaldone" and the "Canti"; "L'infinito" ("The Infinite") is his best-known idyll.
