Culturally-compatible English or Italian names for an Italian-American boy?

Common-ish. Not a too common name. Not rare. Also not something like Cooper or Hunter. It needs to be something that will fit a child, teenager, and adult. Girl names are so much easier. His sister’s name is Amanda. English or Italian boy names but it would be amazing if it could work for both. Suggestions?

    You could use many different names where the full name is very Italian while there are more Americanized nicknames.
    Francisco
    Marco
    Vicente
    Matteo

    Matteo came to mind immediately. He could go by Matt as he got older if needed/wanted

    Michael is a good option! Although it’s definitely common.

    Hi Guys,
    Choosing a culturally-compatible name for an Italian-American boy can be a beautiful way to celebrate heritage. Classic Italian names like Luca, Giovanni, or Marco seamlessly blend with English culture. Alternatively, Italian-inspired names such as Alessio, Dante, or Matteo add a touch of elegance. Striking a balance between both cultures ensures a name that resonates with tradition and embraces the rich Italian-American identity. Ultimately, the choice is personal, reflecting family values and a connection to both linguistic heritages.
