some Italian children
Here are some names of Italian babies and kids I've heard recently:A friend of a friend had a baby boy named Matteo Renato. Comboed names aren't as common as they are in English-speaking countries. I think Renato honours his grandfather. I think it has a nice flow.Another kid born this summer was named Andrea, and another friend's cousin had boy/girl twins named Lorenzo and Federica.I also heard of the following "cousinset": Irene and Sofia (sisters) and Lucrezia. I think Irene and Sofia make an awesome sibset (peace and wisdom, I wonder if it wasn't deliberate. Lucrezia seems to be getting more popular, apparently people don't mind Lucrezia Borgia.

Matteo Renato is a great combo, I love it.Combo names are reasonably common, in my area. Some always were..
Jean-Guy, Leo-Paul, Pierre-Marc.Of late, the combo names tend to be longer..
Jean-Sebastien, Jeremy-Luc, Phillipe-Andre. Kind of a mouthful, some of them.

Well, I meant combo as first name + middle name, I think probably he's ll go by Matteo only most of the time.

Aww, Matteo Renato is very cute. I agree about Irene and Sofia too with the meanings, very... Athena-esque.
