870.0. "Walter's, italian or english" by RINGER::WALTER (used to be Aquilia) Fri Apr 30 1993 14:47

    I am having difficulty agreeing on a girl's name for our September Baby
    to Be.  My husband is partial to english names.  Believe it or not, he
    actually loves Prudence but I just can't do it.  He also likes Jacklyn
    but I don't.  I would like to go with an italian name, seeing how I had
    to give up my unique maiden name and settle for something so plain as
    to Walter.  I also believe that because of the simple last name that
    something unique and long would be ideal.  He also likes Abagail but I
    think its too common.  I liked Samantha Jeanne but he says, "It reminds
    me of a dog; every dog is named Sam!"  (don't take it personally, I
    didn't.  Course we did have a dog Samantha too!)   Anyways... I love
    Demerice, Dominque, Gabriela and Andrea but alas.. he is saying no
    to everything I come up with!
    
    We have pretty much decided that the boy names are Anthony Paul or Paul
    Joseph (PJ) but you never know.
    
    Any ideas?

870.1Many options! Olivia/Allison/Jocelyn/Marina/Sylvia...AMCUCS::MEHRINGFri Apr 30 1993 19:3125
cj,

First of all, congratulations! Next, here are some options for you - the good
thing about a "simple" last name is that lots of names sound good with it!

Italian:			English:
	Alessandra			Alexis		Marina
	Allegra				Allison		Miranda
	Bianca				Amelia		Madeline
	Caterina			Anabel		Marjorie
	Emilia				Antonia		Meredith
	Francesca			Audrey		Phoebe
	Giovanna			Cecilia		Roxanne
	Isabella			Claudia		Sylvia
	Olivia				Danielle	Tamara
	Regina				Hannah		Vanessa
	Sabrina				Hilary		Victoria
	Tonia				Jocelyn
					Lindsay
					Lydia

I also like Abigail and Gabriella (and Samantha), but not too fond of Prudence.
Best of luck deciding!
