Italian girl names that don't end in -a sound??

lifeiswhathappens

We would like to incorporate my Italian heritage and honor a dear late grandmother when naming baby girl.  

So baby girl's name would be __?__ Gloria Keen.  

The first names we like best are Lucia, Camilla, and Juliana, but they don't flow well with Gloria.  The problem is, it seems like 99% of Italian girl names end with the -a sound, which is beautiful, but sounds like overkill with Gloria as a middle name.  

Any suggestions for Italian girl names that don't end in the -a sound?  

 Thanks!

The only one I can think of off the top if my head is Rosario. There are a few cross-cultural names used in Italian that don't end in A, like Adele and Bernice.

Gloria is also considered an Italian name, just not sure if I love it as a first name.  

Throwing around the idea of Gloria Anne Keen (Anne is another family name), with a nickname for Gloria like Ria or something else that it can be shortened to?  

I don't know...

Help!

I actually think Gloria sounds fine in the MN spot with any of your prefered first names.  The flow isn't perfect-- but that's not a huge deal, IMO.

Love Gloria NN Glory

I can't think of anything, but another vote for the flow sounds fine to me! I think Gloria is beautiful.

I think Gloria is a great fn!  I don't mind the flow with is as a mn either.

Noemi, Capri are the only two I can think of.

I think all of those names sound fine with Gloria. I absolutely loooove Lucia.

Gloria Anne Keen sounds beautiful.

.The only Italian girls names I can think of with that criteria are:

Brandi, Caprice, Cristine, Dani, and Nicci.... I think Cristine sounds nice with Gloria though I like Gloria Anne Keen, it flows very nicely.

As for those that do end in A, I think Francesca Gloria or Siena/Sienna Gloria.

Therese (pronounced Ter-race), Cecile, Camille, Juliet (Romeo and Juliet were Italians) Antoinette. It's definitely hard.

I think it's fine as long as its not an -ia ending. I like Therese suggestion. How about Angela/Angelina (nn Angie or Lina) or Marie. Also Cecily is my new GP name so I'd definitely do that
