Wdyt? ja-ko-ma ja-ko-mina. Just looking at “Jackie” names.
Also; besides Giacoma, Giacomina, Jacqueline (and alt spellings) Jocosa and Jacinta (not sure the last 2 work) are there any other Jackie names out there?

I quite like Giacomina! I find Giacoma a little awkward to say, perhaps because it reminds me of ‘a coma’.
I’ve always like Jacoba and Jacobina, which have a similar feel. Also maybe Jacquetta?
ETA: Glaucoma! That’s what Giacoma reminds me of! Thanks, @EagleEyes

Giacomina is lovely! The pronunciation is so elegant.
The spelling of Giacoma reminds me of glaucoma, unfortunately.
Otherwise, maybe [name_f]Jacobella[/name_f]?

Not a name I ever would have thought of but I really like it!!
Slightly leaning in favor of Giacomina because I prefer the ending
I forgot to mention that any child of mine would only be Italian way back on my husband’s side with no cultural connection. Would it be strange to use in that case?
I like Jacomina, but it is a [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] name with a different pronunciation in that language although I would think of it as a anglicization of Giacomina. Jacomina or Giacomina?
I am trying not to get too close to [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] in sound (although I realize that Jacqueline/Giacoma/Giacomina are related to Jacob). I have never heard [name_f]Jacobella[/name_f]. It is pretty much a combo of my 2 youngest siblings names!

Giacoma is interesting. Giacomina is a bit much for me. Maybe you could use [name_f]Jacaranda[/name_f] or [name_f]Jakarta[/name_f] (place name)?

Giacomina’s pretty! Not the biggest fan of Giacoma, the ‘coma’ part stands out too much.

Maybe [name_f]Jacobina[/name_f]? There’s also [name_f]Jocasta[/name_f], but [name_u]Jackie[/name_u] might be a stretch in that case.
I kind of like Giacomina, but Giacoma sounds a bit off. It reminds me of some health issue ending in -oma.
