Italian Folktale Names

I found these on our quest for the right baby names. I will keep adding to this list as we search. Hope you like them! You can always use or adapt pieces of the names or use as inspiration. Remember to use the Italian pronunciation sounds. (gio=jo, gia=ja, i=eee sound, ci=chi, cia=cha, e=eh, a=ah, z=zts, t=dt, o=oh...) ps many of the letters have accents

      "angel, messenger"
    • Description:

      The Italian variation of the celestial, 70s-favorite Angela, with a slightly different sound that might make it feel far more distinctive in to American ears.
  2. Acireale

          • Description:

            Everything ella, from Ella to Bella to Arabella, is red hot right now. Bella is one of the most, well, beautiful girl names starting with B. It carried a hint of a nice Old World grandmotherly veneer, until it became attached to Twilight's Bella Swan.
