Our 3rd baby (boy) will be here in just 10 days and we are STILL trying to narrow down our name choices!
Siblings are:
Nikoli ([name_u]Niko[/name_u]) [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
We are Italian and trying to find the perfect name for this little guy before the big day! I’m torn between something unique or more traditional. I love names with spunk and character but also not too unusual.
Names that my hubby and I have agreed on are:
[name_m]Emilio[/name_m] [name_u]Rene[/name_u] (nn - [name_m]Milo[/name_m])
[name_m]Otello[/name_m] [name_u]Rene[/name_u] (nn - [name_m]Telly[/name_m])
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_u]Rene[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Rene[/name_u] (nn - [name_m]Eli[/name_m])
[name_m]Otello[/name_m] is cool, but the nickname [name_m]Telly[/name_m] is the same as the dated word for television, so you might have to rethink nicknames for [name_m]Otello[/name_m].
[name_m]Emilio[/name_m] is sooo handsome! Keep in mind that the pronunciation of the I in [name_m]Emilio[/name_m] is different than the I in [name_m]Milo[/name_m] (in most cases). Still, awesome name!
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] are not my personal style, but are still very nice and decent names.
I love [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] as nicknames! I agree with pp’s, [name_m]Telly[/name_m] just makes me think of a British person referring to a television. [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] is okay but I don’t think it shines nearly as much as [name_m]Emilio[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]!
I love [name_m]Otello[/name_m]! It’s unique but people will still be able to pronounce it correctly! Not too sure on [name_m]Telly[/name_m] though. Have you considered [name_m]Otto[/name_m] as a nickname? I think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] would go with [name_u]Niko[/name_u] and [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] really well. Also a big fan of [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m].
Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you and your family!
I definitely vote for [name_m]Emilio[/name_m]! Awesome, strong name and it sounds great as a sibset to [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] and [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f].
You wrote that you are Italian, but not whether you are currently living in [name_f]Italy[/name_f]. I’m just imagining those names said in Italian or in English. I would go for [name_m]Emilio[/name_m].
Have you considered
[name_m]Dante[/name_m] (steadfast)
Or [name_m]Benito[/name_m] ( blessed one)
I have a friend whose son [name_m]Dante[/name_m] (with a [name_m]LONG[/name_m] Italian last name) really loved his unique but easily pronounced name. And I like either with your lovely sib set.
Good luck!
[name_m]Emilio[/name_m] Nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] is perfect with your other children’s names, I also like [name_m]Otello[/name_m] but maybe [name_m]Otto[/name_m] as a nn (being British, telly is what your watch your favourite tv programmes and movies on!!)
I also like [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] but I don’t deel they fit as well with Nikoli and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
But I like them all!
