Comments for the name Firenze

Comments for FIRENZE:

In the Harry Potter books, Firenze is the name of a centuar who teaches Divination at Hogwarts. The stress is on the second syllable, and the "e" at the end is pronounced: fi-ren-zee.

I think it's a unique, great name. I can't really see anyone naming their child this, but for a fictional character, I'd use it.

I can't imagine any Italian person using this name, and it would sound very strange all over Europe, actually. Outside Europe, it just sounds rather foreign and bizarre. So, I can't say I like it as a name for a person.

Firenze is not a name, although there is the similar-sounding name Fiorenza, which is the Italian form of Florence (the name, not the place). Why not go for that instead? Firenze is just silly.

This is the equivalent of an Italian naming their daughter "Kalamazoo." It's not a name.

Contrary to what many people have said before I quite like the name but would probably name a son that before a daughter.
