Francesca's Personal Name List

Name M/F Remark Rating
Buddy m  Would simply be used as a nickname, if anything. 
Wolfgang m  Without a German ethnic-background and surname (neither of which I possess), "Wolfgang" should never be put to use. 
Cristoforo m  While there is nothing particularly wrong with "Christoper," "Cristoforo" tickles my taste-buds a bit more. 
Finn 1 m  While it is delightful, I see it potentially rising drastically in popularity. 
Sheldon m  While I would never use it, it is very oddly alluring... and growing in questionable popularity. 
Santo m  While I personally see it as phenomenal, I highly doubt that children would be able to resist "Santa Claus" jabs. 
Angelo m  What a classic, handsome name. A bit stereotypical, though. 
Lincoln m  Very likely the single surname-turned-forenames that I actually approve of and, oddly enough, like. 
Radek m  Very contemporary, very odd... never would I have imagined my liking for it, but I do. I suppose the occurrence can be credited to it appearing rather 'alien'; potentially Vulcan. 
Melchiorre m  Used with the intention of nickname'ing "Mel" or "Mick(ey)." 
Paulie m  Used as a nickname. 
Andor 1 m  Unfortunately I am not Norwegian-- this will be a wonderful character name. 
Marilyn f & m  This name raptures my being! ...particularly on the male gender, which I understand will not be the vast view. 
Astrophel m  This name is glorious! Perhaps a brother to "Severus" (or "Severo"), be it reality or fiction? 
Dimitri m  There is treasure in this name to be found! Lovely, but unusable unless certain details have been dealt with upon the dubbing of a child. 
Slade m  There is something slimy and deceiful about "Slade" that is very imprisoning. 
John m  There is a reason why I once lived on a street with five separate people bearing the name "John." 
Aragorn m  The Tolkien'ite within tells me to adore this name. 
Adriano m  The same as above for "Adrian." I feel that certain attributes are necessary for justice to be done to this name. 
Severus m  The same as "Severo." Truly enchanting. 
Sinclair m  The reason for "Sinclair"'s presence on my list is a mystery. I think has potential as a character name, and obviously as a surname. 
Frankie m & f  The nickname that I go by. 
Francis m  The name of ol' Blue Eyes himself: Francis Albert Sinatra. 
Michelangelo m  Terribly pretentious... but I am drawn to it, and to it's many potential nicknames. 
Albert m  Such old-world charm... and the middle name of old Blue Eyes himself: Francis Albert Sinatra. 
Connor m  Such a wonderful name-- but I doubt I'd ever use it. 
Andrea 1 m  Spectacular. Although, I foresee issues in English-speaking countries... people will likely view it as feminine. 
Gilberto m  Refer above to "Gilbert." 
Amilcare m  Pronunciation: Ah- MEEL-Cah-Reyh 
Louis m  Pronounced "Loo-Ihs." 
Durante m  Presumably with the nickname of "Dante." 
Patrick m  Perhaps a bit 'common'... but it is timeless and free of tarnishes. 
Spartacus m  One of the single most pretentious names available. I love it, nonetheless. 
Alessandro m  Nickname: Sandro or Sandy. 
Sal m  Nickname to "Salvatore." 
Riccardo m  Nickname "Ricky." 
Raniero m  Nickname "Nero"... although it is very controversial. 
Salvatore m  Need I fabricate a reason? It is a splendid, strong name to bear. 
Louie m  Marvelous nickname, usable from many first names. 
Rodolfo m  Magnificent. Nickname would be "Rudy." 
Caspian m  Magnificent-- but best be left to C.S. Lewis. 
Rocky m  Likely as a nickname for "Robert(o)." 
Benedetto m  Italian version of the magnificent Benedict. 
Nero 2 m  It would be very risky to use such a controversial nickname (for "Raniero.") I am fond, associations aside. 
Dov m  It would be a difficult nickname to successfully pull off... unless the boy is of a certain character, it would appear weak and effeminate. 
Umberto m  It runs numerous risks in English-speaking countries, sadly. My ardor will live on, though. 
Edgar m  It is such a splendidly classic name. Not to mention, the first name of an outstanding writer: Edgar Allan Poe. 
Elwood m  It is so horrible it's... perfect. 
Marco m  It is great, but I feel that it is a bit expected of Italian-American parents, nowadays. 
Henry m  If you asked me why I have such an adoration for "Henry," you would soon find that I am unable to answer. Certain names just possess an unexplainable calling to you... this is one, personally. 
Ralph m  I've always wanted to meet a "Ralph" and call him "Ralphie-Boy." Hah. 
Enoch m  I would use the nickname "Nucky." It seems to have a classic air; very strong and calm. 
Hayden m  I would never use it. As a character, it's fine. 
Cameron m  I would never use it, personally. But, I must be truthful and confess that I find it charming. 
Alaric m  I would never dub a human child this. A character or pet? Most definitely. 
Albus m  I would certainly consider this name for future usage. It is magnificent, completely. 
Merry 2 m  I think that "Merry" would be a brilliant nickname! Unfortunately, there is much room for children to practice their cruelties upon the bearer. 
Edmondo m  I suppose that my love affair for the name (and it's variants) began after reading Mr. Alexandre Dumas, pére's magnificent work The Count of Monte Cristo.' "Edmond Dantés" is the main character. 
Hannibal m  I like it, oddly. Never would use it, regardless. 
Alter m  I lay my eyes to rest on "Alter," and the thoughts that materialize in my mind is that it seems rather... macabre. 
Scotty m  I keep screaming for you to beam me up! Why aren't you listening, Scotty? - A charming nickname. 
Shane m  I have traditionally always possessed a strong hate for this name... but since I have become a fan of The Walking Dead, civility and appreciation has developed for "Shane." 
Warren m  I have always struggled in a love/hate relationship with this name. Paired with certain surnames, it is fantastic; paired with certain surnames, it is an atrocity. 
Manolo m  I first encountered the name while watching the film "There Be Dragons," and consequently began a rapid love of it. 
Gilbert m  I first encountered "Gilbert" as a child, while both reading the books and watching the television series of "Anne of Green Gables." Since then, I have always held a soft spot for it. It is lovely. 
Gregorio m  I do believe that I would have to mentally restrain myself from calling him "Gorey," though... I find it difficult to believe that people would react well. 
Cyril m  I despise the name... "cereal," anyone? But even I must admit that it would make a good character-- despite it gaining popularity in the writing-world. 
Hugo m  I cannot shake how smitten I am with this name! Under-appreciated, it is. 
Calogero m  I cannot put my finger on it... but this is no doubt a favorite. 
Jack m  I cannot begin to explain how I adore "John"'s many diminutives! 
Luke m  I am constantly altering my opinion of "Luke." Certain days it makes me want to vomit; certain days it makes me want to grin in positivity. 
Antonio m  Grandfather's namesake. 
Carlo m  Grandfather's namesake. 
Apostolos m  Gorgeous! Though unusable if you do not bear a Greek surname, sadly. 
Falk m  Fantastic! "Falk," "Falk!" 
Remus m  Even though I am a fan of the Harry Potter books, it is not the sole reason of my liking for "Remus." 
Béla m  Does my love for old black and white horror films show this much? 
Walter m  Definitely an 'old man's name'... but it would be entirely refreshing and handsome on a young man. 
Aurelio m  Certainly a favorite. But with revolting regret, it (and variants) is a name that has been attracting a strange amount of attention. 
Thomas m  Besides this being a splendid name itself, I have known many a "Tom"/"Tommy"/"Thomas" bearers who give it a respectable reputation. 
Altair m  Being an avid follower of Astronomy, this name appeals to me. 
Tiberius m  Any Trekkies out there? 
Gunther m  Any admiration for "Gunther" that I may have, is strictly restricted to the German pronunciation. GUWN-Ter. 
Ivan m  Among other things, "Ivan" seems extremely masculine to me. It is phenomenal. 
Reagan m & f  Ah, Mr. Ronald Reagan... where have you gone? The world needs you dearly. 
Charlie m  Adorable diminutive. 
Christopher m  A timeless name. I am a bit more fond of "Cristoforo," though. 
Eliseo m  A positively undeniable favorite. It is fantastic! "Eli" could easily function as a nickname, particularly because I live in an English-speaking country (the United States.) 
Charlemagne m  A pool of pretentiousness, it is. "Charlemagne" is still charming, though. 
Hank m  A nickname of "Henry." While I understand the culturally and contemporary distaste, my view will not falter. 
Eli 1 m  A nickname for either "Eliseo" or "Eligio." 
Ernesto m  A name with multiple family-ties. 
Severo m  A hands-down favorite! Professional, mysterious, utterly amazing. 
Giovanni m  A definite favorite. 
Benedict m  A charming and classic-- while maintaining to be very professional and contemporarily accepted. 
Vincenzo m  "Vinny" or "Vinnie." 
Vittorio m  "Tor(e)" would be an interesting nickname. 
Tin m  "Tin" has definite potential as a diminutive for numerous names. 
Sylvester m  "Sylvester" accompanies and nurtures such remarkable potential. The Italian "Silvestro" stands equally. 
Roger m  "Roger" has been steadily growing on me. Prior to all of this, I could not stand it. 
Ren m  "Ren" has long been a name of fidelity to me. Rewind into my childhood, I had a character that I used to sketch with this name. 
Luciano m  "Luca" would be a fantastic diminutive. 
Celestino m  "Les" could certainly make a suitable nickname. 
Leonardo m  "Leonardo" speaks for itself, more or less. I am quite pleased with the name. 
Ian m  "Ian" has always been a name that I did not despise, but at the same time, never truly liked. It has since grown on me, minimally. 
Evander 1 m  "Evander" seems to be present on every member's Favorite List... popularity and trendiness, regrettably, is on the rise. 
Adrian m  "Adrian" is a name that a boy must grow into... he must be a man. There are only a handful of people who I believe could admirably pull it off. 
Absalom m  "Absalom" has grown to be one of my favorite names. It is unusual, strange, but very strong.
