My husband and I are currently trying to conceive our first baby. My husband is of Italian background and we’re considering using Italian names for our children, but I really need to expand my list! Some Italian boys names I really love are:
[name_m]Aurelio[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Marcello[/name_m]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
Can you help me add to my list? What are your favourite Italian boys names? Thanks in advance 
[name_m]Aurelio[/name_m]- Not sure how I feel about this one…Perhaps nickname [name_m]Leo[/name_m] though?
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]-[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_u]Luca[/name_u].
[name_m]Marcello[/name_m]-I prefer [name_m]Marcel[/name_m]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m]-Like the name bad connotations for me…

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
@mkmlvr - I really like [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] and [name_u]Nico[/name_u], as well as your suggestion of [name_m]Leo[/name_m] as a nickname for [name_m]Aurelio[/name_m], which I hadn’t thought of before! I rather like [name_m]Angelo[/name_m], but it’s out because it’s my husband’s cousin’s name. My husband’s middle name is [name_m]Salvatore[/name_m], which I really dislike!
@ottilie - I’m loving [name_m]Alessandro[/name_m], [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] and [name_m]Valentino[/name_m]. Interesting you suggested both [name_m]Umberto[/name_m], Gianluca and [name_u]Andrea[/name_u]. We have a good friend named [name_m]Umberto[/name_m] whose baby son is Gianluca [name_u]Andrea[/name_u]!
Honestly, there’s only a handful of Italian names I like enough to name my child, so I don’t know if we’ll end up going down that path. That said, I know [name_m]Marco[/name_m] is one of my husband’s favourites, so we’ll see!
I have no extent of knowledge that ottilie and mkmlvr do, but I’ve always adored the name [name_m]Amedeo[/name_m], and it’s been my favorite boys’ name since I could remember. I also love [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m], as in the European Léo). mrkmlvr already mentioned [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m], another one of my favorites, and [name_u]Nico[/name_u].
I like [name_m]Carlos[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], and [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the name [name_m]Vin[/name_m] for a boy. Maybe it’s a bit overused and [name_u]Jersey[/name_u] sounding, but I knew a really wonderful Italian guy named [name_m]Vin[/name_m] and it has stuck with me.
