Francesca
Ludovica
Marilu
Alessandra"We have to live without sympathy, don't we? That's impossible of course. We act it to one another, all this hardness; but we aren't like that really, I mean...one can't be out in the cold all the time; one has to come in from the cold...d'you see what I mean?”

"Hello Marilu, good-bye heart!" (quote from an old song). Marilu sort of sticks out. I like Mary-Lou better, but it hasn't been used for a long time.
and hey, Francesca!Gianmarco is really good.

Marilu's mom really wanted that name and was never convinced it's a not a nickname and that there is a saint Marilu. Francesca's are all over.
