We're looking for a nice Italian boy's name. A lot of names sound so ugly when pronounced in Dutch... what do you think of the following names?

    I think you'll always have pronunciation issues with the Italian G between Italian and Dutch; I think a lot of people still pronounce it with a G like in Gijs.

    Adriano? Gianluca?
    I think both are beautiful Italian names.
    Out of your three, I like Gianni the most.

    I think Gianni is the cutest from your list.
    If you're still looking for names:

    Giovanni
    Mattia
    Leandro
    Alessandro
    Matteo
    Francesco
    Vito
    Gianluca
    Eliano
    Massimo
    Timo

    Gennaro and Graziano will cause problems in the Netherlands.
    So I’d go for Gianni (think of skater Gianni Romme).
    Otherwise, maybe Alessandro or Leandro, as already mentioned above.
