I am Italian so here are some names I have heard.

Santino (my cousin named his baby this and they call him sonny)

Dante

Gianna

Alessandro (the Italian version of Alexander)

Antonio (nn Tonio, is a little different from the super common Anthony)

Giovanna (used by Vanna White for her daughter and is actually Vanna's name to, so that would be a cute nn)

Mia (very simple and it means mine in Italian)

I love Nico, but my favorite Italian boy name is Enzo. My friend used to babysit for two little boys named Nicolas and Vincent, nn Nico and Enzo. I love it! I also like Luca.

For a girl, Mimi is fine, but I love Guiliana, Francesca, and Alessandra.
