Great list!

[name]Arianna[/name] - I think this is such a pretty name, although I probably prefer [name]Adriana[/name] just a tiny bit because it doesnā€™t have the ā€œarianā€ association
Dea - [name]How[/name] would you say this? [name]Dee[/name] or [name]Dee[/name]-ah?
[name]Eliana[/name] - Also lovely
[name]Elena[/name] - This is my cousinā€™s name and I think it is so elegant and feminine. Beautiful.
[name]Giada[/name] - Iā€™m a big fan of this one, which is funny, because I donā€™t like the English version [name]Jade[/name] at all.
[name]Gioia[/name] - I also love this, but prefer [name]Giada[/name]
[name]Laila[/name] - I like [name]Laila[/name], but prefer [name]Lilah[/name]
[name]Lea[/name] (pronounced like [name]Lay[/name]-ah) - very pretty
[name]Letizia[/name] - I am less keen on this one, I think itā€™s the ā€œletā€ at the beginning but itā€™s a bit less pretty than your other choices.
Liala - Iā€™ve never heard this one before. I [name]LOVE[/name] it!
[name]Lucrezia[/name] - Similar to [name]Letizia[/name] for me.
[name]Maia[/name] - Gorgeous! Think itā€™s getting a bit popular.
[name]Martina[/name] - I think this still associates a bit with [name]Martina[/name] Navratilova for me and feels a bit 80s, but it is a pretty name. Maybe time for a revival!
[name]Oriana[/name] - Iā€™ve not come across this one either, but itā€™s gorgeous.
[name]Renata[/name] - I have a bad association with this one.
[name]Serena[/name] - Beautiful name, I just hope with Gossip Girl it doesnā€™t become too popular.
[name]Simona[/name] - I like this, but have always loved [name]Simone[/name], so this isnā€™t quite as nice for me.
[name]Sofia[/name] - Beautiful, I just wish it wasnā€™t soooo popular!
[name]Talia[/name] - I love this

I think my favourites from your list are [name]Giada[/name], Liala and [name]Oriana[/name] because theyā€™re beautiful but also very unique.

[name]Martina[/name]: I think this is pretty, tooā€¦

[name]Oriana[/name]: Iā€™ve always loved this name, but Iā€™m wondering if it will be a source of oral-type jokes in Middle School. Hmmā€¦

[name]Renata[/name]: I like [name]Ramona[/name], but Iā€™m not feeling [name]Renata[/name].

[name]Serena[/name]: I do think itā€™s pretty, but I associate it with Gossip Girl and [name]Serena[/name] [name]Williams[/name]ā€™ F-bomb tirade at the U.S. Open.

[name]Simona[/name]: I think this is beautiful!

Thanks for the suggestions & comments! Iā€™ve always loved [name]Allegra[/name] but Iā€™m not sure with the allergy medication and all thatā€¦Also, I love [name]Gaia[/name] but it is my cousinā€™s daughterā€™s name so I think thatā€™s out. [name]Aria[/name] is very pretty too.

8

Iā€™m in the UK so we donā€™t have [name]Allegra[/name] as an allergy medicine connotation. [name]How[/name] frustrating! Itā€™s such a beautiful name, but I can understand if you associate it with something clinical it loses some of its charm.
Look forward to hearing what you decide on - although you obviously favour the -a ending, there are so many beautiful names to choose from in that group!
