The Italian chart is actually my favorite! There are a few trendy English names, but most of them are handsome Italian classics. Very different from Czechia and its neighbours.
The top 10 names I like best are Leonardo, Alessandro, Andrea, Aurora, Ginevra, and Alice.
My overal Italian favorites are Vito, Mario, Galileo, Michelangelo, Gaia, Vitalia, and Celeste.
What surprises me:
– Ludovica being far more popular than Ludovico. I wouldn't guess for it to be in the top 10.
– Sole for a girl. Isn't the word masculine in Italian?
– Isabel ranking far higher than Isabella. Is Isabella considered dated or why is it so unpopular in Italy compared to other countries?

Popular borrowings from English (Christian, Liam, Noah, Nathan; Emily, Nicole...) and other languages (Yanis, Theo, Thiago; Amelie, Soraya...)
Old/newfangled Italian names making a comeback (Enea, Gregorio, Romeo, Umberto; Flaminia, Violante, Luce, Gemma, Sveva...)
The usual rise of Arabic names (Zakaria, Amar, Muhammad; Jannat, Nour, Mariam...)
Presence of mythology names (Achille, Eros, Paride; Penelope, Selene, Atena...).
I also wonder what made Soleil rise in later years. As for Celine, it's either the singer or the fashion brand - or both.
Some names I like from the list: Viola, Arianna, Stella, Camilla, Angelica, Flora, Romeo, Letizia, Carmine, Alma, Rosario, Sveva, Azzurra, Violante,

I'm surprised to see Clarissa rather than the Italian form Clarice (klah-REE-cheh) especially after seeing Beatrice (beh-ah-TREE-cheh) and Alice (ah-LEE-cheh) on the list.
I love Italian names, and as a former student of Latin and Greek, I'm interested in the seeming uptick in names from Roman and Greek mythology (e.g., Flaminia and Ascanio, Atena and Paride).
It's curious to me that Ludovica is much more popular than Ludovico; I love both. Is Giorgia falling in popularity because of Giorgia Meloni?
Ginevra, Lavinia, Clarissa, and Lucrezia are among my favorite names, so I'm happy to see them.
