let's see if we can do the same with the Girl names...
When choosing the girl's name we were adamant we would not have a pinky pinky Disney Princess kind of name (may the gods forbid that our daughter will live a life of pink and think her primary purpose is reproduction and cleaning),what we are looking for a strong confident woman who does not need to flutter her eyelids to get what she wants type of name... So here we go with the selection, where we were last week and where we ended up at the end of the ottavo di finale:
Unfortunately (or fortunately) these names have not made the cut:
Lucrezia - the only thing i could think of the first time Richard proposed the names the cat of a friend ...mmm not bad i thought and then BHAM ... Lucrezia Borgia came up to my mind... Medieval whore, no thank you...
Hermione - so so so cute but tooo Harry Potter possibly overused, and she is a bit annoying...(as my daughert she will be VERY annoying)
Valentina - could not see the Valentina Chiesa thing happening... and then Richard reminded me of this Valentina ... another soft porn heroine???? NOOOOOOOOOO
Edwige - immediately my mind goes to Edwige Fenech and although she did star in many of my favourite movies she is just another big titted sex object ...so another NOOO
(man choosing female name is so much harder that choosing male names)
Ermengarda - only one word came out of Richard's mouth ...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sakura - A name form my childhood, where all of my favourite manga and cartoons had a Sakura, usually a quite funny and rock'n' roll characters... but Richard went with the same arguments of the Akira situation... so my little baby girl will never be in Naruto , nor in Lamu' , or in any other cartoon :(:(
What we are left is as follows:
sakura in honour of our favourite jap actor-turned-mob-restaurant-bully? Gutted that Lucrezia didn't make it to 1/4 finals, i have twins running in my family and if i EVER get to double procreate i shall dub them Dorian & Lucrezia :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Giulia but with the English spelling Julia. You know how English people have problems spelling Italian names and mess up Giuseppe. What if they ALWAYS get Giulia as Guilia as they do with Giuseppe?
ReplyDeletePenelope makes me think of 'housewife that waits for her husband to come back from his cavorting and wild adventures'.
Cassandra is wonderful but it has such a heavy history behind it.
Giulia or Alice definitely :-)
