No I hate Italian names. My high school was mostly Italian and there was no end to the Guiseppes and Guilias and Francescas. Maybe if I was of Italian descent I would like them.

I love Italian names!Claire - Chiara: I like Claire better. I've met a few Chiaras and I find the name gets tiresome after hearing it for a while. Simone - Simona: Simona is adorable. I don't really like Simone. George - Gorgio: Not a fan of either of themJoe - Giusseppe: I like Joseph better than Giusseppe, but I don´t care about Joe as a nn. Sophie - Sophia: I really like them both. Emily - Emilia: Emily is so much better imo. Julie - Julia: Both are very nice. Anton/Anthony - Antonio: I don't like either.Lucy - Lucia: I like Lucía much better. Frances- Francesca: I'm with the Italians again. Luke - Luca: They're both nice but not my style. Edited: It seems I can't spell Giusseppe properly! I'll have to look for it in the data base.

There are some Italian names I prefer over other forms of some names.John - Giovanni - I absolutely hate John
Joseph - Giuseppe - Joseph I find boring
Anthony - Antonio - I know entirely too many Anthonys.
Lucy/Lucille - LuciaAnd being Italian I also just love Italian names too.

Giuseppe and Giorgio, I believe, are what you want. :)For the most part, no, I don't prefer Italian names. I'm not Italian and don't feel particularly attached to the country. So while I might like some, it's not simply because they're Italian, you know?Of those, I do prefer Emilia to Emily, but that's because I loved Emilia in Othello.Array
