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.

Cara is nice, but it'd get confusing if people write letters to her. You'd have to start them "Cara Cara" Lol.

My favorite is my confirmation name, Francesca. I also like:

Antonia
Graziella
Gabriella
Pasqua (My great-grandmother's name and the word for Easter)
Giovanna
Caterina

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.
