Please help! We need a baby girl name to go with Lucca (who is named after the Italian town). My husband is super Italian, and our Italian last name has “cc” in it, too. He is thinking Siena, another Italian town, but I’m not convinced. Any ideas for Italian, German or European names? Maybe something with a cc in it? We do have to avoid anything “ana” because of the large number of Juliana, Lilyana, etc. already in the family.

First name the comes to mind for the cc brief is [name_f]Miuccia[/name_f] (or Mariuccia if you prefer the long form?), but maybe that sounds too similar to [name_u]Lucca[/name_u] for you…
Other options
Italian:
[name_f]Zeta[/name_f]
[name_f]Gioia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elettra[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariella[/name_f]
[name_f]Violetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Isotta[/name_f]
[name_f]Vittoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f]
[name_f]Mattea[/name_f]
Place names:
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Andorra[/name_f]
[name_f]Verona[/name_f]
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f]
[name_f]Lourdes[/name_f]
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Amalfi[/name_f]
[name_u]Milan[/name_u]
[name_f]Venezia[/name_f]
[name_f]Pomona[/name_f]
[name_u]Juneau[/name_u]
[name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourites for you are [name_f]Zeta[/name_f] (or maybe [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] if you want to go German), [name_f]Gioia[/name_f] or [name_f]Odessa[/name_f]

Seconding Zeta, I think Zeta and Lucca sound great together! I also like your husband’s suggestion of Siena.
I’m also loving:
Fia
Carlotta (nn “Lottie”, I think Lucca and Lottie sound adorable together)
Nina
Capri
Ravenna
Another idea to get to a double c is with the nickname CeCe or CiCi:
Cecily
Celia
Cecelia
Celestine
Cascata (Italian for waterfall… sooo cool!)
Clarice
Cosima
Concetta
or even Sicily
Good luck!

I need to throw in Nola! While the name isn’t technically Italian, the town of Nola, [name_f]Italy[/name_f] is credited with beginning the practice of using church bells! It could also be a nickname for things like Antonella, Noella, and [name_f]Nolana[/name_f] (aside from the usual [name_f]Finola[/name_f] and Magnolia, which don’t seem to be what you’re looking for)
