Help[Opinions] Re: Angela
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine!!!
..and Angiolina as well!!!!
Do you remember that I told you about an Italian songwriter and singer called Fabrizio De André?
It was about the name Marina because Marinella (a local variant) is a protagonist of one of his greatest songs.
Well...for Angiolina is the same.
Angiolina is a local variant of Angela.
..and she is the protagonist of another song called "Volta la Carta".
I have to tell you..
Local names are NOT used in Italy.
I think maybe in the past but anyway the official names were Marina, Angela... Only among people they are called Marinella, Angiolina..
The most of Pino or Gianni or Nino as well as Gina, Mariuccia etc are actually named Giuseppe, Giovanni, Luigina, Maria and so on.
Another example..
Your name is Perrine.
I read that the history of this is Pierre (m) > Perrin (m)/ Perrine (f).
In Italian it would be Piero (m) Pierino (m) Pierina (f).
I have a relative that everyone call Pierina but it isn't her real name because she is officially Piera.
This is important to know because I saw the Italian Names of BTN and these "diminutives" are listed but..It can confuse users because in US i.e. an Alex or a Dan are simply an Alex and a Dan while in Italy NNs and also local names are not actually given names (the most of times).
BUT
Local variant were used when dialects were more spread...
But now dialects are desappearing (faster in the Northern Italy where I live).
So..as whe link between dialect and local names in desappearing as well maybe a girl named Marinella or Angiolina would sound strange yes but maybe nice and particular.
Mmm...It makes sense what I wrote?
Anyway..
Angiolina is lovely imo.
I love Angelica since I was a child and I think I would use Angliolina as NN for it.
Angela is dated and very cold imo.
