Hello everyone -
Would love some honest opinions as to ----
Ariana Lily-Rose
or, should we have a boy
Giacomo Alexander (DH loves this - I'm not too sure -- Giacomo is NOT growing on me -- but, would love to hear from others)

I am liking Ariana a lot. Not loving Giacomo though. Is there a nickname you would use? I can only think to shorten it to Gia, which is a girls name to me.

Hi Theresa,
Jack would be the nn for Giacomo --
Hi there,
My issue with Ariana is that I always think of Aryan, which doesn't have great connotations for me. Without that association it is a pretty name, but I can never divorce the two.
Giacomo is kind of cool. I actually don't mind it. I personally couldn't see using it, but I think it's sort of appealing.
Ariana Lily-Rose -- Ariana is nms, mainly because it seems to bring to mind a very snobbish, unfriendly child/woman every time I hear it (it doesn't help that a little Ariana in our family has confirmed this unfortunate association by being just that LOL). Lily and Rose are lovely (if popular) names on their own, but I'd avoid combining two obviously-floral names in such a way. It makes them sound more like a cross-breeding than a pretty name, KWIM?
Giacomo Alexander -- just nms (and apparently not yours either). ;) I'd keep looking. Perhaps your dh wouldn't mind moving Giacomo to the mn slot?

Ariana Lily-Rose is very pretty.
Wow!
My daughter's name is Lillian Ariana. Double middle names is nms, but it is a pretty name.
The boy's name is nms also. But I think it flows well.
