FAQ

Are these names usable in the US?
Yes — many Italian names (Sofia, Isabella, Bianca, Leonardo, Marco) are top-ranked US baby names. Italian naming had a huge revival post-2000.
What is the difference between Italian and Spanish names?
They share many Latin roots (Maria, Antonio, Pablo/Paolo) but Italian uses different endings (-a, -o, -i, -e) and includes more Greek-Latin classical names (Lorenzo, Massimo, Ottavio).
Why are some names like Andrea unisex in different cultures?
Andrea is masculine in Italian (Italian Andrea is a man's name) but feminine in English. Pool tags Italian Andrea as masculine; English-speakers using the generator should be aware of this regional difference.
