Capri Kobe sounds like a $7 drink you might get at Starbucks. (Also obvious they felt they couldn't wait any longer to name a kid after Dad and they knew probably there'd never be a boy to give it to.)
Natalia Diamante isn't bad.
Gianna Maria-Hono... well, Gianna is okay, and it definitely has the same Italian feel as the other names, but Maria-Honor sounds like a nun's taken name. (What do they call it anyway when a nun takes a new name?)Bianka Bella sounds tacky. It sounds like a stripper's stage name, or like some off-brand white wine cooler or something. Also: Bianka = white; Bella = beautiful. Beautiful white?
Well, she probably is beautiful, but she's not white. lol

Capri? Like the island? Poor kid. And Kobe seems very masculine to me (as well as very ugly).

Hi Sofia !!!Oh!! That's an interesting sibset!! I can see an Italian heritage in it.Natalia Diamante* this combo is wonderful! I'd love to use it here in Italy! Gianna Maria-Onore 'Gigi' uhm.. Gianna is nicknamey. Maria-Onore? Onoria or Onorina would go better. Together the combo is too long in my opinion but it would be not so strange if Gianna and Maria were honouring so it is ok! Onore is not used as given name. If it were Gianna Maria Bryant it was a normal, classic (even dated) Italian name. Onore helps you to know that there is something strange.Bianka Bella: uhm..both with B? It seems a try to use Biancaneve (Bianca+Neve) who is our Snow White. Alone or combined with other names Bianka and Bella are ok but together...Capri Kobe: Italian island + Japanese city? This is the true celebrity style. I have not enough ties with those places to use them as given names. Maybe the Bryants have a reason so it is ok...
Their tries to use an Italian ancestry went perfectly with Natalia Diamante. I love it! It is so elegant, refined, aristocratic with the beautiful shine that Diamante "diamond" gives to the combo. Infact in Italy Diamante is not trashy at all. It is very rare and underused plus there is a very moving and tender song that Zucchero (a singer) sings with this name. Diamante was his granny and the song is to honouring her memory. It Is a beautiful song in my opinion. They then tried a bit more using Onore that seems weird and strange to an Italian.Pairing Bianka with Bella maybe they didn't think about Biancaneve but unfortunately the final effect is that. Both names are ok separately.
