DD name help!!

olliehoops · November 2010

DH and I cannot agree on a name! It needs to be Italian and American, and we are hoping to use Rose as a middle (American) name. DH is in LOVE with the name Lucia (which the Italian way to say it is Lu-chee-a) and I'm not crazy about it....kinda reminds me of a Chia pet?!

I also like Sarah, Katherine, Elizabeth, Rose, Sarafina, Mary and Giuliana. DH's names are all over the place from Gina, Savannah, Claudia, and Rosalia.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I like Loo-SEE-ah, but not in love with Loo-CHEE-ah. Your names are great but they don't seem Italian, except Sarafina, which is really pretty. I like Giovanna. Or Sofia?

Katherine - can do nn Kathy (I'm biased, it's my mom's name) But I do like Katherine Rose

P.S. Katherine Rose is my DD's name. We love our Katie Rose!

I like Gianna, not sure about spelling, pronounced Gee-ah-naa

I see Lucia has many way to pronoun itself. I know a little girl named Lucia (Lou-sha.) The name is gaining popularity

I like Loo-see-ah too. Loo-chee-ah is too close to lochia for me :P

What about Alessia, Daniela, Gemma, Gisella, Lidia, Luciana, Marcella, Marissa, Michela, or Mirella?

My favorite Italian name was Liliana, but my DH vetoed it

I like Sarafina and Katherine out of your top names. Lucia is a very pretty name but the other ladies are right there are so many pronunciations right now and I think you would pretty consistently have to correct people.
