Pietra Delfina
Pietra Dorothea / Dorotea
Pietra Bibiana

I like Pietra a lot. I like how it skips along. It's very sharp and alert.
I like Petra (which gives me more of an impression of stone-like), although Pietra does seem more lyrical than that. I love *tra and *dra endings as a general rule. I'm vaguely reminded of Star Wars (Piett), but that's because I'm a geek and also not very familiar with Pietro.I think it'd probably pair well with anything Italian. Pietra Sofonisba and Pietra Arcangela seem most whimsical. Violante and Salome are interesting with it. Isidora, Valentina, and Delfina are my favorites of the middle names (for combos but also individually, so I don't know how much that says about the combos).

It's much better than Petra.
It sounds simple and earthy. An old peasant woman who has tilled the fields for decades.I like your Pietra Sofonisba and Pietra Salome.
I prefer this to Petra, though I can't say I'm a particular fan. However I do like the combos Pietra Angelica, Pietra Valentina and Pietra Isidora.
I like Pietra, Piera and Petra.Have you considered honoring both Mom and Dad with the combo Pietra Amy Valentina?I like Pietra Angelica, Pietra Consuelo & Pietra Adelina.
I’ve been playing with Amy Valentina appended to other names (e.g., Eudora Amy Valentina). Pietra Amy Valentina is lovely! :)
Hope this isn't weird haha - but I went through your name list, and the Amy Valentina combos I think would be nicest are:Carmen Amy Valentina
Ingrid Amy Valentina
Sibyl Amy Valentina
ooo, I think Pietra Carmen would be a nice combo.
...I also kind of like Pietra Carmenta Valentina.

Not weird at all!! I greatly appreciate the attention!
I really like Pietra Consuelo.
And Pietra Cosima sounds really pretty and Latin-ish. Together I think it means "Rock Cosmos"
Cosima derives from “kosmos,” which means “order” in Ancient Greek. :)
Oh, thanks. I'm no expert lol.
Of course, though, it’s now tied to the cosmos. Thanks for your comment! :)
Sounds pretty, but could get confused with Petra. Petra sounds a little more harsh..Amy or Amy Angelica as mn
