I my husband and I have chosen the name
Gianna for a girl, so obviously that's my preference. lol I don't think it is too Italian (although my husband is Italian)--the longer
Giovanna is a bit much for a non-Italian family name, even for us.
Gianna has the much cuter nn of
Gia over
Jill, so I think that's another thing to consider. Not sure what you think of those nns.
We're using
Albertine as a mn, but that's because we would be naming her after my dad,
John Albert. I could see how you might think
Albertine is too archaic sounding, so I'm not suggesting it. How about:
