[Opinions] Re: Italian names 2017 ! 5
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.Alvise Basilio Dante Fabrizio Flavio Isidoro Leone Niccolò Romeo Valentino

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.
