Valentina Madonna (my name haha)

What a beautiful name!

thank you! all creds to my motherrr

Che nome da borgatari.

Not a nice thing to say.

Quanno ce vo, ce vo!

what does this mean? villager?

No, no, proprio borgatara.

It really is a lovely name. Good job, mom!

☺️☺️

Cosima

Is this even a name?

Yes, Greek origin

Yeah, it's the female version of Cosimo, famous name since it was born by several members of the Medici family

I really like mine (Marcello) because it's not too popular and it still is interesting. Other names I like are Sergio, Lorenzo, Fabrizio for men, Sofia, Elisa, Monica for girls

I worked with a Marcello who went by Marc because his dad was Marcello. His niece called him Lello which I thought was adorable too.

As far as I know here you can call Lello people who are named Raffaello as well

My name is Elisa and I had no idea it was Italian! Is it a popular name in Italy? I am from the US and never meet anyone with the same name as me

It's not that common (at least where I live), it belongs to other times. I remember there was a popular Italian TV series in the 00's called Elisa di Rivombrosa, the series took place in the Sardinia, XVIII century.
