HelpRe: Probably he'd be Jacek Filip (I'm Polish).

Really? I find Giacinto to be charming.
It's pronounced with a soft G, similar to an English J.... like Jah-sin-toe.
Though, part of my name is Gioia... and I grew up in an Italian family. So, these sounds are familiar.
Hyacinth is not a common names at all, so it's not so much that it is girly... but that it is rare and, if even used, it is used on girls.
I like it for boys or girls though.

Ah, so if in US it's pronounced the same way as in Italy, it's not so strange. At first I thought it's pronounced by the other way than in Italy, more hard. But if it's the same pronounciation it's really charming.
