None of these are my favorites except
Martina and
Sonia.
I like these pretty well:
Ilenia,
Cristiano,
Nicoletta,
Stefano,
Giuliano,
Federico,
GaiaRita and
Norma seem unfashionable or "old" to me, so do
Fabio and
Carlo.
Carlo is still likeable but
Fabio makes me think of
Fabio Lanzoni - it sounds a little like "fabulous" in English, just enough that (combined with Lanzoni's image) I get an impression of overbearing vanity.
Carmine sounds good in Italian but I think it is totally dorky in English.
I like the last half of
Armida, but the first half (the "arm" part) sounds harsh to me.
I like
Cheryl (as a "retro" name - maybe not for babies) but not the Sh- spelling of it.
