A strong standing female name, I love it. Most girls are given short cutesy names, but this demands respect, it grows with a child into adulthood. It isn’t insignificant, not a bit.

Good enough, but I know someone by this name who I cannot possibly respect. An unfortunate bias. I wonder what I would have thought if I had heard it before I met her.

It is the name used by the Italian poet Giovanni Boccaccio to hide the true identity of the woman he loved, following the rules of medieval poetry. One of his works is entitled "Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta" (Elegy of my lady Fiammetta, 1343–1344. This explains this name's popularity in upper and cultivated classes, especially after the medieval revival of the 19th century. Little peak of popularity in the 1960s and 1970, especially in Tuscany.

This name is just amazing. Not everyone could pull it off, and apparently not many people are brave enough to use it. I certainly encourage it to be used more often! Strong and unusual, with a fantastic meaning and history.

It's a first name that goes back to the Middle Ages. It's the name of the love interest of the Italian 14th century writer Giovanni Boccaccio (like Beatrice for Dante and Laura for Petrarch). He wrote a book entitled: "Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta". Fiammetta is also one of the narrators in the frame story of the Decameron.
