Dante for non-Italian baby?

Does it work? Last name is hyphenated Irish and German names if it matters.

Personally love the name Dante!  I think it would look cool with any last name.

I love Dante. I had it on our list for our first LO. I asked myself the same question you are asking yourself. I never could decide but I love the name and would encourage anyone to use it.

I personally don't like the name much. It is on my list of names that remind me too much of hell. That said the only Dante I have ever met was blond and blue eyed so if he was Italian he sure didn't fit the part. I don't think it is a problem.

Love it.

I like it and wouldn't think anything of it being used on a non-Italian baby.

I know 2 people with the name Dante- one is of Italian descent and the other is not. I don't think it really matters- it's one of those names that work for anyone.

The one Dante I know is African-American. It totally works.

Love Dante! I know a 10 month old Dante and he's not Italian (that I know of--not predominantly anyway), and I don't normally think Italian.

If my husband had it his way this baby would be Dante. I like it but can't get into it.

I like Dante, Italian or not!

My good friend named her son Dante and while she is Italian, her DH is not (and their last name is Ba.con). It totally works so I say go for it

I like Dante a lot.  I think it depends more on the LN name than of the origin of the LN name.

Every Dante I have ever met has been African-American.

So to answer your question - yes!  I also love the name Dante.  It was on my boy name list.

I like it! I would be excited to meet one.
