I’ve always been a firm believer of using the name that you love, despite outside opinions. Names are so beautiful and meaningful and it’s so intriguing to dig into their historical origins, but at the end of the day it is unlikely that no one would ever have a name that is outside of their origin.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]My[/name_f] older brother has a name with a [name_m]German[/name_m] origin (Emmett), and yet we have no [name_m]German[/name_m] heritage. [name_f]My[/name_f] real name is Greek, and I have no Greek heritage. I have a friend who lives in (and was born in) [name_f]France[/name_f] whose name is Italian (Annunziata), and she receives nothing but compliments. [name_m]The[/name_m] feminine form of [name_m]Emilio[/name_m], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], also has Italian roots, but I have met a few Emilia’s that were not Italian. Additionally, there’s the [name_f]British[/name_f] actress [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Clarke[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]I also have Italian heritage, and I wouldn’t be offended in the slightest [name_f][/name_f]— [name_m]Emilio[/name_m] is such a handsome name, and I personally wouldn’t blink twice if a non-Italian boy had the name!
[name_f][/name_f]I hope this helped ease your mind!
