Names for foreign babies

Many new parents prefer to choose a foreign, unisex, original name or one that is a simple variant in another language of a classic village name.

• If we look at the boys we have to go down to the 31st position in the ranking of the most popular names in the country to find the first foreign name: Gabriel. At the 37th we find Manual, followed by Thomas and Samuel, is in 45th position Daniel, finally in 48th position we find a new entry this year, Liam, who precedes Nathan by one position.
• for sissies foreign names seem to be more popular: Nicole we find it already in 16th position. Then we have to go down to position 33 in the ranking to find Isabel, while in 36th there is a name that is rising year after year: Emily. In 42nd position there is Chloe which this year gains 8 positions.

Special baby names

Certainly, especially in younger and more modern couples of parents, there is the will to move away from family traditions and to choose original and less common names. Let's see a selection of proposals.

Special masculine names

If a few years ago the choice of Elisabetta Gregoraci and Flavio Briatore to call their child Nathan Falco increased the number of children who were called in this way, today the ranking of male names sees a return to tradition and simplicity. However, there is no shortage of parents who choose a foreign or particular name. Some idea? Lion, Brando (diminutive of Albobrando), Loris, Denis.

Particular female names

It has been above all showgirls and women from the entertainment world to dictate the trends in terms of particular names in recent years. Alessia Marcozzi he called his daughter Mia and this has contributed to greatly increase the popularity of this name which today is even at the 24th position in the ranking, with more than 1600 girls who were called this way last year. Michelle Hunziker, on the other hand, called the girls that Tomaso Trussardi had Sun and Celeste.

Every year theISTAT draws up and publishes his report "Birth rate and fertility of the resident population"within which we find both the data relating to the birth rate in our country and the ranking of the most used female and male names in the country.

How many names can be given to a child

Let's start by saying what names cannot be given:

• The country law and the registry regulations prohibit giving to ridiculous and / or shameful children's names and the choice of the admissibility of the name is up to the registry official;
• you cannot give the name of father or brothers living, not even if followed by Jr, while another name can be added to make a compound one;
• a female name cannot be given to a male and vice versa (the only exception is Andrea, now considered a unisex name).

According to the law they can give their children to the maximum three names: if they are separated from the comma there will be an obligation to report only the first name in the signature, if they are not separated by commas, all registered names must be reported.

How to choose the name for the baby

Finally here are some advice to make the right choice:

• choose your favorite names and write them on a piece of paper;
• go and search for the meaning of each one;
• give the name to the surname and say them together several times to understand if they are harmonious and bond well;
• avoid giving too long names with a surname that is also long, just as a short name does not go well with a surname that is also short.
