Italian Names

[benjischick1515.livejournal.com]

My friend's mom just had another baby the other day (this is their sixth) and I wanted to share with you the names of their kids.
Vincenzo Rocco (the newborn)
Alberto (my friend, the oldest)
Alessandro
Gianluca <-- I'm not asure of the spelling of this one
Francesca (the only girl)
Giuliano <-- is a boy, and I'm not sure whether the end is an 'a' or 'o' 

Obviously they're very Italian. I really love all of these names, being of Italian descent myself but I don't think I would use all fo them.
WDYT?

I really like Alessandro, even though I know an Alessandro who I can't stand. I like all the names, actually... I can't see anyone finding anything annoying about them.

i live in italy and i know a person with each of these names. you spelled gianluca and giuliano right by the way. i like them all with varying degrees of how much i like them, gianluca being the highest and alberto being the lowest.

i had an italian professor who was american and his wife was italian. his name was john. they had a son and named the son "john luca". so when he was in america, he went by john, and when he was in italy, he went by the full "john luca" which has an identical sound to "gianluca". i thought that was really cool.

by the by, there are a lot of names in italy that start with gian-.

very italian names, I confirm :)
you spelled both Gianluca and Giuliano correctly ;)
it would be Giuliana if it were a girl

I'm half italian and living in Italy and to me they all sound quite typical to the point of boring :P Vincenzo Rocco is sooooo southern, while the other ones are all at least middle-class frequent :P

Alessandro is my partner's name :)
and I almost was a Francesca! ugh

I love Italian names. I really like Alessandro and Guiliana for a girl. And I like Vincenzo for a middle name.

HAHA I was just going to come home and ask you all what you think about Francesca. I think I may use it, if I can convince my husband.

I'm part Italian, and I really love Italian names, at least for girls. I LOVE Francesca, and I also like the feminine forms of two of those names, Alessandra and Giuliana. Rocco is also cute.

There are like a million Gianlucas born here every month, haha. I think only Matteo and Luca eclipse it as far as Italian boys' names go.

I love them!
I love italian names, though.
I might would use them.. I don't know.

I don't like Gianluca/Giuliano together, though. And I don't think I like Alberto/Alessandro together, either. But they're all still nice names.
