Italian boy name

[name_f]My[/name_f] son’s name is [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m], and we just found out we are having another boy. We are trying to decide between [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] [name_m]Antonio[/name_m] or [name_m]Antonio[/name_m] [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m]. Please let me know what you think!

[name_m]Antonio[/name_m] [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m] is stunning!!

I feel like you can’t go wrong, but I like [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] [name_m]Antonio[/name_m] the best :slight_smile:

lorenzo antonio

italian here, i think that where i live giovanni and lorenzo are very common and this would be an extremely common sibset but they are gorgeous! i would name a child lorenzo (only mn because too common) if i could. + lorenzo and antonio are both of ancient roman aka latin origins so it would go well.

antonio and lorenzo together mean really good things, praised flower of laurels. laurels were the plants of praise and glory, so…

to end i think that as an italian, salvatore really strikes off as “too old” “dated” “very southern italy kind of dated” “religious” vibe so i do not like it and i would avoid it. i do not know how it works where you live, maybe it is common among americans / british, but ehm.

lorenzo antonio would feel very italian tbh to me! i would think he comes from italy

the nicknames: do you prefer anto / toni or lori / renzo?

the last thing you might want to consider is what is more important for you as a meaning and connection.

good luck!:crescent_moon:

[name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] and [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m] are both so nice, it’s hard to decide! But I’d probably go with [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] [name_m]Antonio[/name_m].

[name_m]Antonio[/name_m] [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m] I like much more for a brother to [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m]

[name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m].

Other suggestions:

[name_m]Gianluca[/name_m] “Luca”
[name_m]Gianmarco[/name_m] “Marco”
Giaci
[name_m]Luciano[/name_m]
[name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]
[name_m]Alessandro[/name_m]
[name_m]Emiliano[/name_m]

[name_m]Antonio[/name_m] [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m]. I prefer the different vowel endings and like the meaning behind [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m], though both are good options.

[name_m]Antonio[/name_m] !!
