I love [name]Gioia[/name] but I’m afraid of other people’s reactions…
Ornella is actually already in my family, it’s funny you said that because most people seem to have never heard it.
Here are a couple of Italian names I have come across lately in [name]Italy[/name] that stand out to me:
[name]Ilaria[/name]
[name]Tiziana[/name]
[name]Elisabetta[/name]
[name]Annalisa[/name]
Caralisa
[name]Evelina[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]-[name]Serena[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name]
Elisabella
It seems like the most common names for 20-30 something’s are names like [name]Martina[/name], [name]Sara[/name], [name]Laura[/name], [name]Claudia[/name], [name]Giovanna[/name]…
I’ve also met a few Virginias.
[name]Caressa[/name] is another great one that I don’t think anyone has mentioned yet.
I think it’s a very pretty name:)
[name]Lucia[/name] and [name]Chiara[/name] are my favourites.
[name]How[/name] do you pronounce [name]Ilaria[/name]?
[name]Ilaria[/name] is really pretty, maybe one of those which gets mispronounced a lot but I would pronounce it ill-ah-ree-ah
My only problem with it is it’s starts with the sound il/ill otherwise would be near the top of our list!
I love Ornella and [name]Gioia[/name]. I like that Ornella could be considered a cognate to [name]Ashley[/name].
really? what do they mean?
[name]Alessandra[/name]
[name]Caterina[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Sienna[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
[name]Vittoria[/name]
[name]Allegra[/name]
[name]Valentina[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Gianna[/name]
[name]Viviana[/name]
[name]Elisabetta[/name]
