Yes, I agree with your second paragraph. I think it's basically an old-fashioned name that's coming back. Even supposing Matilde Brandi played a part in its increased popularity, it's not comparable to Asia, which was virtually unknown as a person's name before director Dario Argento used it for his daughter, who became a well-known actress in her own right.

You are right
with the cases of Matilde and Asia being not comparable.
About Asia, my contact sent me more information this morning: "Asia Argento is actually Aria. The name Asia was refused by the registry office in 1975 when she was born.
Only in 2001-2 the naming laws no longer proibited geografical names. in this case it's likely people got the idea from the Argento family."
