HELP! Baby bro for Raphael and Rocco

Boy Names
1

I thought my husband and I had decided on [name_u]Robin[/name_u] for our third boy, but now he’s decided that [name_u]Robin[/name_u] doesn’t “go” with our last name. Our last name is Italian sounding and kinda rhymes with “cup-of-jello”.

Since we’re back at square one…what names would you suggest for a baby brother to [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] ([name_m]Rafi[/name_m]) and [name_m]Rocco[/name_m]?

My husband likes long Italian names and I really dislike them! I prefer spunky, friendly sounding names.

Names I like but don’t work:
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]

Thank you!!

This was a fun challenge! I looked for Italian names starting with R that had the option for shorter, spunkier nicknames:

[name_m]Raimondo[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ray[/name_u]
[name_m]Rinaldo[/name_m] nn [name_m]Aldo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ricardo[/name_m] / [name_m]Ricciardo[/name_m] / Ricario nn [name_m]Rick[/name_m]
[name_m]Roberto[/name_m] nn [name_m]Rob[/name_m], [name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_m]Romeo[/name_m] nn [name_u]Mio[/name_u] or [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_m]Rodrigo[/name_m] nn [name_u]Rio[/name_u]
[name_m]Rolando[/name_m] nn [name_m]Rolo[/name_m], [name_m]Rand[/name_m]
Rubiano nn [name_u]Rue[/name_u]
Ranolfo nn [name_m]Rolf[/name_m]
[name_m]Reginaldo[/name_m] nn [name_u]Reggie[/name_u], [name_m]Aldo[/name_m]
[name_u]Rosario[/name_u] nn [name_m]Ross[/name_m], [name_u]Rio[/name_u]

Then I looked for longer Italian names that could be shortened to an R nickname:

[name_m]Rino[/name_m] - [name_m]Adriano[/name_m], Ambrogino, Arduino, Aureliano, Cesarino, Cirino, Fioreno, Guerino, [name_m]Marcellino[/name_m], [name_m]Mariano[/name_m], [name_m]Orsino[/name_m], Ottorino, [name_m]Pellegrino[/name_m], Pierino, [name_m]Saturnino[/name_m], [name_m]Serafino[/name_m], [name_m]Severino[/name_m], [name_m]Severiano[/name_m], Victorianus, Vittorino
[name_m]Rico[/name_m] - [name_m]Arrigo[/name_m], [name_m]Enrico[/name_m], [name_m]Amerigo[/name_m], Alberico, Ciriaco, [name_m]Frederico[/name_m], Ferruccio, Ulderico

[name_m]Renzo[/name_m] - [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], [name_m]Fiorenzo[/name_m], Prudenzio
[name_m]Rand[/name_m] - [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m], [name_m]Adriano[/name_m], [name_m]Armando[/name_m], [name_m]Bertrando[/name_m], [name_m]Ferdinando[/name_m], [name_m]Francesco[/name_m], [name_m]Giordano[/name_m], [name_m]Leandro[/name_m], [name_m]Orlando[/name_m]

Maybe a long, Italian name with a short, spunky nickname? [name_u]Or[/name_u] a first/middle combo of the two? :slight_smile: [name_m]Raimondo[/name_m] “[name_u]Rai[/name_u]”, maybe?
