Girls name opinions! :)

Hubby and I are in between two names as of now, we have plenty of time to figure it out, but this is the fun part of being pregnant is bouncing around some names! Anyways, we found out on Valentines day that we are pregnant, so the middle name is going to be Valentine as I've always thought that was cute anyway.

 

Giada Valentine Zeffiro

Harper Valentine Zeffiro

 

(Giada is Gee-ah-duh, like the cook )

Giada!  Harper is too trendy, imo.

Giada!

Harper. I really don't care for Giada, or Jade for that matter.

Giada! I am SO sick of Harper and truly, don't even love the sound. And by the way, I have always thought giving a child the mn Valentine would be awesome. So I really like that

Giada, by a landslide.

I do, however, believe that the proper Italian pronunciation is JAH-da.  In Italian, GI makes the J sound.  Just wanted to throw that out there.

Giada! Especially with Valentine. Love it. And Harper's way overdone.

Both nice names, but I like Giada a lot more. Giada gets my vote!!

Thanks guys! Giada has been my number one for quite some time, my gut is its going to be Giada! And yes I am aware of the Italian saying, but I like the Americanized version myself But if she gets called "Jah-duh" thats fine too!

I was actually trying to be diplomatic before, because I honestly don't mean to offend.

Giada is an Italian name.  There is no "American" pronunciation.  There is the correct pronunciation (JAH-dah) and there is the incorrect pronunciation (GEE-ah-DAH). 

If you want to name your DD the "Americanized" version of Giada, name her Jade.

I hope you don't take too much offense, I am genuinely looking out for you, since you seem to be leaning towards Giada.

This.

No offense taken, totally understand what your saying, what I'm saying is since we aren't in Italy, most people won't say "Jahda" when they see it, and I won't say it either. Its basically the same arguement for Gianna, I have a friend named Gianna that gets so mad if people dont call her "jah-na", but no one in America really follows the Italy rules when it comes to Italian names. Odds are you say Gee-ah-nah, so im doing the same just changing it to a D
