[Opinions] Umberto
Umberto has lately become a huge GP of mine. There is something so nerdy and stuffy and pompous in Umberto that I just can't help loving it. My problem is finding the perfect combo – I've tried to pair Umberto with something more young and energetic to liven it up, but then I don't want the combo to be too mismatched either.This is what I have this far:
Umberto Achille
Umberto Aiden
Umberto Anastasio
Umberto Autumn
Umberto Bastien
Umberto Blue
Umberto Bob – delightfully nerdy
Umberto Earl – ditto
Umberto Easter
Umberto Emerald
Umberto Emil
Umberto Esteban
Umberto Estonia – because Estonia is one of the few country names I actually like... but then there is the association with MS Estonia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Estonia
Umberto Eugene
Umberto Ezio
Umberto Hercule – he'd have a moustache
Umberto Ilias – the Iliad is called Ilias in Finnish
Umberto Ithel
Umberto Jax – because Charlie Hunnam is just that good in Sons of Anarchy
Umberto Joy
Umberto Lucius
Umberto Lux
Umberto Mackenzie
Umberto Malachi
Umberto Paris
Umberto Phoenix
Umberto Rose
Umberto SanchoI'm not perfectly happy with any of these, though. What do you think of them, and do you have other suggestions?

Yes, yes, yes. Umberto is intoxicating. Pure fun. I love what the Italians do to Germanic names. Ludovico and Osvaldo are equally endearing to me. But I'd never be so brave as to try to find a combo for any of them. Kudos to you! My favorites from your list:Umberto Anastasio (I never thought Anastasios would be the safe mn)
Umberto Eugene (you can never have too many u's in a combo)
Umberto Hercule (I so get this one)
Umberto Ilias (neat!)
Umberto Lucius (this one is so good that it begins to look doable in the real world)
Hmmmm:Umberto Horace
Umberto Solon
Umberto Hector
Umberto Porfirio
Umberto Leopold
Umberto Pascal
Umberto Wilkie
Umberto Mattias
Umberto Oskar
Umberto Charles / Karl
Umberto Pollux
Umberto Hiram
Umberto Cedric
Umberto Agustin
Umberto Modeste
