I am obviously not ready to have another baby yet since I just had our first son last month BUT when visiting my grandmother today she was telling me about the history of our family. I always new my grandfather as [name]Leo[/name] but found out his real name is Denato. Pronounced duh- Nah- Toe. I fell in love with this Italian name. Only problem is what would you use as a middle name? Naming my first child was such a breeze.
Any suggestions on what will compliment Denato nicely? I DONT like the middle name [name]Leo[/name] either. My hubby said that and it just didnt feel right.
Cool! Your gramps shared a name with [name]Donatello[/name] (sculptor of the [name]David[/name].)
So if you want to go Ninja [name]Turtle[/name] Renaissance artist:
Denato [name]Michelangelo[/name]
Denato [name]Raffaele[/name] (or [name]Raphael[/name])
and you’ve nixed [name]Leonardo[/name], the fourth ninja turtle.
You could always choose a typical classic middle name if he doesn’t want to go by his first when he’s older.
Denato [name]William[/name]
Denato [name]James[/name]
Or something contemporary and stylish.
Denato [name]Killian[/name]
Denato [name]Grey[/name]
I dont really like an Italian first and middle name I like to mix it up. And a middle name ending in an O clashes a little too much. I really appreciate the suggestions!
I could definitely do a classic name. I never thought of that. But I love the stylish side of names not so much classic. That is more my style. We looked into gray/grey for our first son as a middle and the husband did not like it very much. But I love the sound of a short middle.
