Here in Italy the famous emperor is called Nerone so the link is not so immediate for me even if I'm aware of that.
Here in Italy Nero is mostly seen as a short form of Raniero (or also as full name but virtually related to it). It has an aristocratic vibe in this sense but it is actually very rare because of another reason.
Nero literally means "black" in Italian (referred to a he or a grammatically masculine animal, plant or thing). So it is not commonly used for children.
I prefer Raniero or Ranieri.

The most famous bearer of this name would definitely be Nero, the Roman emperor. I don't know why anybody would ever use this name, considering how he burned the entire city of Rome down.
