Hey Ya'll. What are your thoughts on a very italian sounding last name, going with a non-italian first name? Especially names that contain K's and Y's, which are not in the Italian language?
I'm trying to pair a first name with an Italian last name like this. I don't want to have to go an Italian first name route, despite having the last name, we're not very culturally Italian. Is it clashy? This is a 4-syllable mouthful of an Italian surname.

If you live in the US, nobody would bat an eyelash at that.

I agree with number1212. my husbands family has an Italian name and no one has an Italian first name, it sounds fine.

Hi !!!
I'm Italian.
Here some foreign names were trendy last years.
A Jessica+Italian LN or a Kevin+Italian LN we are not so strange to see. They became quite trashy but this is another story.
I think that you can use every name you like.
What is the surname?
Maybe I can help you...

In the US? People have ancestors from all over. There are a lot of surnames from a lot of countries... and a lot of people so many generations removed from the original culture it means nothing to them. Why should they all be confined to coordinating names? I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

It's fine if you aren't actually in Italy. I mean, what's maybe the most popular name for Italian-American males in the US?
Anthony. No th sound and no letter y in Italian.

In the US, I see it as a non-issue. Where I'm from, as many people with v Italian last names have non-Italian first names as Italian ones. Go with what you like and think sounds good with the surname.
