[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ethnically Italian here. I don’t think it’s a must, but it’s a privilege. I wish I had a second name. You can use a cosmopolitan(or “Italo-cosmopolitan”) name as the middle one. Giovanni Rocco, Ludovico Ivan, Vincenzo Luca, etc.[/quote] OP here....All good options, but don't you want a second name to sound more American? Someone mentioned Asians, and yes I have noticed all my Asian friends gave their kids an American name as the first and an Asian(-ish) as the middle [/quote] I have never encountered bullying based on names, and my kids have unusual-to-Americans European names. Bullying may be more of an issue for kids of Asian descent, and there are also pronunciation challenges that would not be in play for most European names. [/quote]
