[Opinions] Elio
My newest name crush is Elio. It is the latinate form of the Aelius, an old timey Roman name. I like it because it has a watery musical flow to my ears. [Pronounced EL-ee-Oh], Elio or Élio is a short but strong name. Plus it goes well with so many middle names:Elio Donato
Elio Lorenzo
Elio Augusto
Elio Adriano
Elio Micael
Elio Justino
Elio Justo
Elio Daniel
Elio Damiano
Elio Antonio
Elio Constantino
Elio Roberto
Elio Diego
Elio Marcelo
Elio Nicolas
Elio Reinaldo
Elio Filipe
Elio Timóteo
Just to name few............Does it fit in maybe with brothers Renato, Aloisio, & Sabino?
Illumina, guberna
Angel of God, mu guardian dear
To whom God's love does commit me here...

Hi !!!Elio is a quite dated name here in Italy.
But it is coming back soon.
Infact in 2016 were born 129 Elio (the highest number since the beginning of national statistics in '99).In my mind Elio is not watery at all.
It is linked with air (the Italian form of Helium) and with Heaven (El- Hebrew word). It is also linked with yellow (both Sun (helios) and ELectricity).I personally quite dislike it because it seems a dad-name. As it is coming back for the new generation maybe in the future it would be great..but not nowadays.From your list I like:
Elio Augusto
Elio Adriano
Elio Damiano
Elio CostantinoElio Michael (Michael read as Latin)
Elio Reinaldo (but nearly too snobbish imo)What a strange sibset!
Renato, Aloisio, Sabino and Elio?
They all are particular names eccept for Renato that is a quite more popular than them.
Anyway is a good sibset! I prefer this instead of all the i.e. "Luca, Martina, Giulia, Alessandro" that I always ear.

Didn't you say once that Silvio is dated there too?Silvio is music to my ears, but I haven't known anyone with the name in real life.
