Baby Name Needed – Latin or Italian Name for Baby #1

A reader named Claudia is expecting her first baby (gender unknown). She’s looking for a Latin or Italian baby name.

She mentions that her middle name is Elisabetta, the baby’s father is named Simon Edmond, and the baby’s surname will be a 2-syllable D-name similar to Downie.

Here are some names that I think might work:

Adriana
Antonia
Augusta
Aurelia
Camilla
Clementina
Cecilia
Daria
Emilia
Eugenia
Fabia/Fabiana/Fabiola
Felicia
Frances/Francesca
Flora/Floriana
Julia
Isidora

Octavia/Ottavia
Paula/Paola
Philippa/Filippa
Piera/Pietra
Renata
Romana
Sabina
Sebastiana
Silvia/Silvana
Valentina
Victoria/Vittoria
Vincenza

    I like the idea of carrying on E middle names since both parents have one. How about Valentina Emilia for a girl and Felix Enrico for a boy?

    Of the names above, I’d choose Camilla Livia for a girl and Lorenzo Victor for a boy. For a girl, maybe instead of Camill”a” you could use Camill”e” and have Camille Livia.

    Valeria is a Latin favorite of mine, so maybe that would work as well somehow.
