Can't decide on any name, HELP!

Ok, I am almost 3 months so we have a bit to decide. My problem is we have a very long, very Italian last name. My husband has a very large family, so I do not want to duplicate any of the names (as many of them have been already). And my son's name is Joseph, however in his preschool class there are 3 f them so I would like it not to be original but not so unique that when someone sees the name they do not either know how to say it or does not know if it is a boy or a girl. Joseph does not have a middle name because of our long last name (seven sylabulls). I want a somewhat Italian name to match with our last name. Let's see what you guys can come up with.

You are so lucky. I love Italian names, but I can't pull it off with my last name.

For girl - I love Siena (like the city) as a name, but you need to be italian to pull it off. Another italian girl's name is Gemma, which sounds like popular Emma, but has a unique italian twist.

For boy - Angelo
