From her suggestions, I think Morgana is gorgeous. It is recognizable and not too out there.I would also consider:Bianca: lovely, timeless.Adele: vintage-chic, I don't think the singer is too much of an association (the pronunciation is different).Rachele: I've always loved it, but maybe the sound is a bit harsh. Gioia: nice.Celeste: Vintage-chic, I love it.Ines: same as above.Margherita: timeless, sweet but with a little bit of spunk.Elettra: I like it, but I am afraid of the Electra complex association.Marzia: I'm not sure if it is grandmother material or if it has a possibility to become popular again.Alba: same as above.

I like Matilde, Bianca, Marzia, Miriam and Delia. I find Rosalba heavier than Morgana. I like Rebecca but it doesn't sound nice in Italian. Ginevra reminds me too much of the city.Possible other options...GiulianaLiviaAlessandraEliana

I like Siria - feminine of Sirius, I assume. I like Ada, Ginevra, Margot, Miriam, Elettra (but prefer Electra).

I like Morgana but there is something dark about it. Maybe the nickname Morgy would help to make it friendlier? I dislike Rosalba (and Alba) because in Austria the word 'albern' means 'silly'. Giorgia is nice but very very overused in Italy so I would stay away from it.Ginevra - overused
Elettra - too much, makes me think of electricity
Rebecca - very nice and not too overused
Rachele - a bit harsh, I prefer Rachel with the English pronunciation but not in ItalyLinda - I like it a lot, I think of linden trees
Marta - a bit boring
Bianca - very nice but getting crazy common in Italy
Delia - never liked the sound
Agnese - nice but I prefer Agnes
Angelica - okay nothing more
Nicole - super common, will be super datedSara - pretty but completely overused, starting to sound dated
Sarah - in Italy she would just always have to correct the spellingSilvia - dated
Asia - trendy will be dated
Emma - overusedAurora - so so so nice but sooooo overused
Gioia - nice
Gaia - common
Matilde - nice
Adele - nooo it is just too tied to the singer nowIsabel - Isabella is prettierTessa - noooo so harsh!
Jana, Yana - this was crazy common in Austria in the 80s/90s so I know lots and lots! Bland and overused to me.
