I know I have names I prefer more that are used in Italy, listed here as Italian, etc. (like
Maria,
Teodora,
Angelina, and so on) but when I think "Italian names" specifically these are two of my favorites.
I tend to like forms of
Peter and
Pietro appears pretty frequently in my family tree. There's no reasoning behind
Mafalda other than I enjoy it. The 'fal' is appealing to me.
