I love
Conchita. It's so cool.
Don't know how usable it is, but IIWY I'd be tempted to at least make it a middle name.
Concetta feels more awkward to say, for me - I guess I've just had more Spanish than Italian in my life.
I like
Robert,
Charles,
Rebecca,
Mario,
Francesca,
Antonina. There aren't really any bad ones there, although
Pedro and
Mario are a little stereotypey to be usable (ymmv). Probably
Salvatore too.
Since you mentioned shortening names, I kinda like Lando (LAHN-do not LAND-o) for
Orlando. But that's farfetched I guess.
Antonina could be
Nina, which is cool.
Let's say I had to name your kid using these names ... I'd probably pick something like
Mariana Conchita or
Antonina "
Nina"
Andrea, and
Francisco (alternately
Francis)
Orlando.
