[Opinions] Re: Italian feminine names
in reply to a message by Felie
Alma (1/10) - there's a sweet old lady named Alma who goes to my parents' church, but the keyword here is "old". lol It's too old-fashioned for me.
Ludmilla (5/10) - I like it, but not enough to use. I'd picture it more on like a Russian than an Italian, but that's just me.
Lisandra (see Lysandra) (9/10) - I have this name on my PNL, but it's the Lysandra spelling.
Gemma (10/10) - I love it, especially bc there's an adorable little girl in a YouTube family I watch named Gemma!
Tecla (7/10) - it's nice, and I like the saint association
Lucilla (8/10) - it's very cute, but I prefer Lucille, and in the middle
Selene (10/10) - Gomez. Great singer!
Tessa (2/10) - she just sounds like a prissy, bubblegum-popping, boyfriend-stealing high-school cheerleader
Iole (1/10) - not my style at all, sorry!
Perla (1/10) - ditto Iole
Nives (7/10) - love the meaning, but I prefer the Spanish Nieves
Amaranta (7/10) - love the name, not the spelling; Amarantha is preferable here
Cassandra (10/10) - another favorite!
Elettra (1/10) - sounds more like a stage name
Fedra (see Phaedra) (3/10) - I like this name, but Phoebe (similar meaning) is miles better and way more familiar
Diletta (1/10) - reminds me of the word "dilate" and a seizure medication called Dilantin
Clizia (see Clytia) (1/10) - just not my style! I also don't like the Clyt prefix
Iris (10/10) - or should I say 20/20? lol favorite!
Melania (1/10) - Trump.
Aida (1/10) - too close to the Spanish for ear (la oida or el oido - can't remember if masc or fem lol)
Micol (6/10) - I know it's a legit name, but it sounds like Nicole has a speech impediment. Love Nicole, though!
Corinna (10/10) - lovely!
Priscilla (7/10) - I love this name... for a cat!
Doris (1/10) - old-fashioned af!
Ersilia (2/10) - never heard before, but no me gusta
Naomi (10/10) - fave!
Evita (3/10) - nice, but reminds me of crackers (Belvita). I think Evelina would be far better!
Tania (1/10) - it's Nicki Minaj's middle name... and I hate Nicki Minaj.
Raissa (see Raisa) (8/10) - nice!
Amarilli (see Amaryllis) (5/10) - Amaryllis is in my PNL, but not the Italian form
Melissa (1/10) - I used to love it, but now it's forever tainted by a backstabbing ex-friend of mine...
Eloisa (9/10) - I love it! I also like Eloise.
Miranda (7/10) - I like it well enough, though I wouldn't use it.~~~~~~Formerly Violet86~Twitter: @sucker4njj | Instagram: @sarcastically_steph86PNLs:
