Italian-ish sounding boys names?

MediaBride · February 2009

DS is Roman. We have a LOOOONG Italian last name that starts with an M. DH picks out very traditional italian names like Nino, Nico, Carmelo etc. Def NMS. I want something that sounds masculine, and is somewhat classic, but not a name that you hear everyday.

I'm voting Max right now (even thought it is becoming more common) and DH is begging for A.J. (which creates an entire other issues of picking the A and J names!!).

Any suggestions for names that sound good with Roman and a long italian last name?? We find in out in 2 weeks if this one is a boy or a girl. Why are boys names so much harder!!!????

luca is cute although i've heard it a bit recently. alessandro could be "alex" or perhaps matteo or rocco.

Matteo was my fav boy name even before I got married. Unfortunately, it's also part of my last name I'd be somewhat ok with Rocco if it weren't DH's uncle's name - and I cannot STAND his uncle.

Thanks for the ideas ladies... lots of ones that I hadn't thought of!
