[Opinions] Re: Italian feminine names
in reply to a message by Felie
Irene (ee-RE-ne) - pretty but I prefer the English pronunciation.
Chiara - meh, it sounds off to me possibly because of so many similar names.
Carmen - not my style. Is it true that they are remaking Carmen Sandiego?
Maria - Beautiful and classic
Claudia (KLOW-dya) - This pronunciation seems really clunky to me, but Claudia is a bit of a clunker in general. It is cute in an awkward sort of way.
Anna - lovely
Laura (LOW-ra) - okay
Zoe (DZO-e) - Where did the "d" come from? Zoe is cute in a childish sort of way.
Pina -"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain ...."
Virginia - beautiful and with cute nicknames like Ginia and Ginny.
Cleopatra - a nice cat name
Soraya - okay
Rosa - Forms of Rose seem very popular on this site. It is pretty but not something I would use.
Paola - I'm not particularly fond of Paula.
Margherita - This is a common drink in the USA, so it would be a bit like name your child Wine, Beer, Brandy, or Whisky.
Silvia - Okay, I prefer Silva.
Carla - okay
Francesca - Elegant, strong, and distinguished
Monica - dated
