my husband is from Italy and would like to go for a Italian name preferably Annunziata. my personal thoughts on that name is that it is to different and i don't want my child to be made fun of since i am American. the name i like is celia keeping with the Italian meaning but it is easier to pronounce and so on. what do you think would be best?

Maybe a nice compromise....have his choice as a middle name and then you two look for a nice 1st name to go with it. Celia is pretty. There are many Italian names that are easier said and quite lovely.

some examples:
Carina =dear little one
bella/Isabella- God is my oath
Arabella-answered prayer
Allegra=cheerful and lively
celeste=heavenly
Celia=heavenly.....Annunziata means announce or announcer
Francesca=free
gabriella-strong one of God
Gemma-precious stone
Giana and Giovanna=God is gracious
Mariella-beloved
orabella-Golden beautiful
renata=reborn
Rosabel-beautiful rose
Susana=lily
stefania-crown


Just some that I found....also go to the main page here and click on Italian names and maybe you can get some ideas. good luck.

yeah its very hard for me to even say the name, but i like the name Cecilia its longer and i think he will agree that its a good name. thanks for telling me it=)

top 10 names i have chosen
Adalina
