Which spelling do you prefer?

[Nes]

I am expecting a baby boy in about 3 weeks and DH and I have pretty much narrowed down our search to the name Alessio or Alesio. The name is a version of Alexander.

Just wondering which spelling everyone prefers?

We have a 17 month old boy whose name is Mateo (in case that has any impact on your decision).

Feel free to suggest some other name options too. I'm still on the lookout in case I find one that I/we like more than Alesio or Alessio.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Alessio for me!

Alessio for me too, it just looks more balanced.

Same as the other girls Alessio. I've only ever known it spelt that way.

Same, Alessio. I don't think I'd personally use 2 'o' ending names, but if you are happy go for it! Good luck, 2 boys is loads of fun!

For me it comes down to pronounciation - do you say it ah-LESS-ioh or ah-lee-see-oh

If its the Less one I'd use the double ss

Thanks everyone!

Sneakysparkle - I would pronounce it A-less-io. I see your point about the 'less'.

catherinemoses - It's so hard to find names that match with Mateo (not similar sounding but that are the same style) that don't end in 'o'. I guess it's like the girl versions of Nina, Lara, Mia. A lot of girls names tend to end in 'a'. I'm open to other names although I don't have much time up my sleeve.

Keep the votes and comments coming!!
