I like Eleonora a lot! I also like Eleanor and Leonor.
Lucrezia fits in really well. Sofia, Isabella, Margherita, Beatrice, Diana, Elisabetta, Caterina, Anastasia and Ludovica fit the criteria as well. My favorite out of these would be Anastasia by far! Anastasia and Eleonora are great together :D
The ones I don't consider to be aristocratic sounding:
Livia - very Roman image
Rossella - seems dated
Elisa - trendy and very 90s/00s
Rebecca - too biblical and down to earth, but I love it!
Ginevra - I think of Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter
Carolina, Carlotta, Virginia, Clarissa - just normal names to me
Regina - it literally means queen so it is odd, I doubt many royals would use this it seems more like a title
Letizia - I love Laetitia. But unfortunately this gets pronounced leh-TISH-a in English speaking countries and that is so tacky that I could never think of this as aristocratic even though it sounds nice in Italian and I think it has been used by royals
Verdiana - never heard this before
Emma - generic
Lidia - see Rebecca, but I don't like this as much
Diletta - where does this come from? Seems to be getting so common in Italy. I think it has a trendy vibe.
Lavinia, Lucilla - Roman
Melissa - trendy!
Azzurra - more of a hippie, nature name

Hi !!!
Verdiana has two roots.
One is from 'vero' so means 'true, sincere'.
The second is from 'verde' which means 'green' so this name means 'lively, fresh, youthful, luxurious'.
Diletta instead means 'dear, beloved'. It has the same vibe of Désirée because it often used by parents who have waiting a lot for a child...well maybe this was in the past but this is its meaning.
I agree with you for Elisa and Melissa (not aristocratic) and Regina quite kitsch.
But Roman names seem very aristocratic to us: Lidia, Lucilla, Lavinia, Clarissa...
If you like them you say they are aristocratic. If you dislike them you say they are snobbish. But everyone can see a noble vibe in them.

Ohhh I like the meanings of Verdiana! It actually made me think of vegetables :P The meaning of Diletta is nice too! Unfortunately I don't like the sounds of these two names. Diletta makes me think of Gilette, the razor company. I always imagine Roman names as not aristocratic. Classic yes, but I don't think of royalty. I think of grapes and Pompeii and togas :) But I love Roman names, they are so classic and lovely. I wish Livia had a nicer meaning, then it would be on my list.

I like Elisabetta, Isabella, Carolina, Carlotta, Virginia, Verdiana, Letizia, Caterina, Clarissa, and Regina. They all sound aristocratic to me.
Just wondering, why do you keep saying 'hi' and 'bye' on all your posts? It's weird.

Hi !!!
Nothing special.
I started writing it and now I do it only because it is familiar to me.
I know it is weird and maybe childish but in my mind is simply friendly..is it so terrible? Maybe I can stop writing 'byeee' but Hi! no. I like it.
