i was gonna say that too! lol

she rocks

I was also going to say this. I loved that name since the moment I heard it, and she IS an awesome FoodNetCeleb. She beats Rachel Ray anyday.

I'm biased against Rachel Ray anyway because she went on a date with my ex, is from my hometown, and insists on saying "Eee-Vee-Oh-Oh" instead of "Extra virgin olive oil."

ARR!

francesca is one of the names on my favorite girls names list, although the boy is not so keen on it so i doubt it would ever be used.

I love the name Chiana [key on uh], it was my friends name in elementary school.
I LOVE the name Lucia, but pronounced "Lu-cha," not "Lucy-uh." The first pronunciation is the real Italian way to say it. Unfortunately, she would always have her name mistaken for the second spelling.
