My husband and I were trying to figure out an Italian sounding name. I liked the names Gina or Gianna. When we went to the Ultra Sound yesterday to find out the sex, he said he immediately thought of Angelina Marie. We have two boys (Johnnie and Vincent) and a girl (Alexa). I would really like some feedback on this one.
Thanks.

First of all, Angelina doesn't sound Italian to me at all. It just sounds contrived. It's also a very little girl-sounding name, and it won't grow up with her. I've never liked it. For that matter, Maria may be Italian, but Marie isn't. Marie seems dated to me--there were 7 girls in my class with that middle name (no kidding). What about Angelica instead?

I LOVE the name Alexa. It's so pretty, and Angelina doesn't go with it. I don't, however, like the name Gina, and I have bad associations with the name Gianna.

What about one of the following: Isadora, Isabel, Lucia (Loo-sha or Loo-chee-uh), Isabella (Isabella Rossellini--definitely Italian and only good associations!), Francesca, or Liliana (which isn't really Italian, but sounds pretty with Alexa)?

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I think Angelina Marie is very pretty. If you like nn I like Lina. I don't think sibling names have to "match" but that is just my opinion. I have 2 kids from my first marriage and 2 from my second, and since my second husband and 2 babies are hispanic they have hispanic names... their last name is also different. With today's society no one thinks of sibling names having to sound good together, they are separate individuals after all.

Angelina Marie or Angelina Maria is your choice and probably depends on your last name. Some would say the double "a"'s would be a mouthfull, but my dd has double "a"s.

I think you did a great job choosing a name!
