Particular as in uncommon/interesting/special?I actually read a few posts on an Italian message board a few days ago and was really surprised :D The user wanted an uncommon name that is special and Simona and Claudia kept coming up. I mean they might not be common for babies but they are quite dated and I was surprised these two were suggested as special as the women must know several their own age. I feel like in Italy the attitude towards names is really different. The same names are used for a very long time and even after they haven't been used much anymore they are still seen as nice and not super dated. Maybe that's why the variety in names isn't so big. I would compare Claudia and Simona to names like Stephanie or Amanda in the US. Classic, but kind of 70s/80s dated.This thread also surprises me, because at least:Anita
Adele
Nicole
Ludovica
Matildefeel really popular to me. Anita and Adele just seem to be getting popular again but Nicole, Ludovica and Matilde have been common for quite a while!I really like Matilde! I also like Matilda and Mathilde. The meaning is strong and the sound is beautiful. I never cared much about Ludovica, it is so long and Ludo isn't very attractive. Reminds me of Harry Potter's Ludo Bagman (I think that's what his name was). Anita is okay. Annita actually looks cuter to me but she would always have to spell it so I guess Anita is better. Nicole is very dated here so it is hard for me to see it as a nice name, but the sound is fine I guess. But I am sure it will sound dated in Italy too, as it is a foreign name and one that became common quickly.
