Hello!
There is a theme in my husband’s family that we would like to honour, but we could use some help with suggestions.
My husband’s father is of Scottish/English/Irish descent, and his mother was born in Italy. My husband has a English name and his sister has an Italian one. His nephew has an Irish name and his niece an Italian one. We both really like this pattern/theme and would like to continue it but we can’t agree on any Italian girl names. Our biggest issue is that many of the names we have seen already belong to an aunt, cousin, grandmother (like Isabella, Francesca, Marina, Lina, etc.)
So, any suggestions for lesser known, unpopular Italian/Latin girl names? Thank you!!
