Boy names, HELP!

[DiamondLil]

Some more courtesy of Google:

Alessio—if Alessandro feels a bit too bulky, how about this more compact, equally handsome short form?
Amato—it means beloved, darling one—as loving and heartfelt as the beginning-to-be-usedValentino
Bello –as handsome as Bella is beautiful, and rarely heard outside the Italian community.
Brando—Yes, people will thinking this is in honor of great screen actor Marlon (who wasn’t Italian), but it is actually a streamlined form of Brandano
Flavio—pronounced FLAH-vee-o, from an old Roman family name meaning fair, golden—a flavorful name that would be perfect for a blond bambino
Gianluca—the Italians are great name smooshers: other appealing combos include Giancarlo, Gianfranco, Gianpaolo, Pierluigi
Luciano—because the girls can’t monopolize all those lovely light-filled Luc-names. Pronounced lu-CHA-no.
Nardo—because Leo isn’t the only nickname name for Leonardo
Orsino—it means ‘little bear’ and plays a part in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night; a romanticizedOrson
Remo—This Italian form of Remus recalls the gorgeous Italian Riviera town of San Remo, home of a famous music festival and is in tune with nouveau faves Remy and Romy.
Silvio—a green sylvan name, Italian style
Urbano—urban and urbane—a Papal name that could work for a city boy
Vero—as Vera moves back into fashion, why not the boys’ version of this truth-defined name?
Zenzo—Though Renzo is the more common short form of Lorenzo, Zenzo is also sometimes used; it means crowned with laurels
Zosimo– a zippier Cosimo

Try it with the last name and really consider it...

Massimo Mini
Alessandro Mini
Vincenzo Mini

Is there gonna be a middle name(s) for the baby? Maybe you can compromise with DH and one of you can select the first and the other can select the middle name....?

Vincenzo and alessandro are taken in the family .. maybe i mis-communicated that lol
If the first name is not Thanos (greek tradition to name after grand-parents) , the middle name will be Athanasios after my father.

I like Alessio very much as well
Massimo has the same meaning : The greatest

Maximiliano or Massimilano,you can call him Max for short. - means "the greatest"

Adriano

Alessio

Alonso

Donato

Savio

These are some of my fav Italian names

[electric_viking]

Alessandro, Claudio, Vincenzo, Lucas , damiano , Marco, Sylvio

My personal preference is Alessandro, it means defender of man, so it is a strong name.

Known too many Marco's and Sylvio's. They are very common.
Lucas or Luca are good names, but you said your nephew.....
Vincenzo, nope. People are going to call him Vinny, which gives me the chills.
Claudio means lame or limp.

The two youts with your cousin Vinny?

Vinny: Is it possible that the two youts--Judge Haller: Uh, the two what? Uh, uh, what was that word?Vinny: Uh, what word?Judge Haller: Two what?Vinny: What?Judge Haller: Did you say "yutes"?Vinny: Yeah, two youts.Judge Haller: What is a yute?Vinny: Oh, excuse me, Your Honor, two youths.

That is EXACTLY what DF had in mind.. I was like: really Ninja Turtles over my dad's name ??
Get your priorities in order

[MortgageQueen]

Ok, what about Zander or Xander, if you want to get fancy. .

It's Greek, means "defender of the people" (Who doesn't love that?) I think it's strong and no-nonsense name. Love it!

[tasha313]

All good ideas. Nothing seems striking though but that's been since the begining.

[tasha313]

And i told DF his name (Claudio) meant lame..
he lol'ed quite hard

[electric_viking]

How about Zeus? Poseidon? Ares?

Ajax? - hero of the Trojan war (protector of the condoms?)

[electric_viking]

Corrado?
Cristoforo?
Brando?
Roberto?

lots of o's at the end of Italian names
