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!!

I went to highschool with a lot of Italian girls so here are some of the names i can remember:-

Sophia
Lucia
Nadia
Adriana
Jilda
Angiolina
Silvia
Angelique (this is French but she was Italian :))
Tatiana
Arianna
Maria
Christana
Claudia

I'm terrible with boys names but here are my contributions :lol:

Antonio
Marcelo or Marcello
Roberto
Leonardo
Georgio (George)
Marcos
Luca
Dario

that's all I've got!

Renee (although I think that might be French?)
Bianca
Anna
Maria

Bruno
Angelo
Vince

I really like Nico.
Alessio
Luca

Girls
Amelia/Amelie

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...;)

Alessandro
Alessandra
Emiliano
Emilio
Giovanna
Annabella

Flora
Graciella
Violette
Laure
Laurel

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.

Matteo
Giordano
Gianni
Christiano
Domenico
Stefano
Adriano
