    Inspire me!

    Ok so I figure I need to start trying to get some idea of names for bub2.

    We like traditional names, generally Italian. Although I broke the rule with dd and went french

    For boys I like
    M.a. ssimo
    N.ic o
    Fr. anco
    Fr. ancesco

    The main issue is I don't LOVE any of them and so I would love more ideas. Keep in mind it would need to be shortened for the general public to use. A son would also have two middle names after parents and so I don't want to give the child some epic name. Hit me with any ideas though

    Girls:

    I still seem to be leaning for the French side of things. I like

    E.ly se
    Dan.ie lle/Dan. Iella

    So any ideas for girls that are girl would be welcome. I haven't really found any italian ones I love so if you have ideas hit me!!

    Two Italian sisters I knew we're Laura (but the way her parents pronounced it was just exquisite! Was a bit like Lowra, with a slightly rolled 'r') and Anya. Also, I love Maria and Isabella.

    Don't ask me about boys names though...

    Thanks everyone!

    My parents suggested Gi.an Fr. Anco which I like but DH isn't a huge fan PLUS if its a boy it will have an epic amount of middle names (2, but they're typical italian so they look big lol).

    I also like J. ames. DH likes it too but is worried about a n English name followed by very italian names.'what do you think?

    Any other suggestions for names along the lines of J. Ames?

    Still very stuck on girl names.

    The problem is the names I don't mind either have a close friend attached to them or someone DH doesn't like lol.
