[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a good time to mention that naming your kid Isabella/Gianna/Luca/any foreign name when you are not from that culture is cringey?[/quote]

What an idiotic take.  [/quote]

You're not even pronouncing it correctly if you have no connection. It is weird to name your kid an Italian name and then say it as an English only speaker. I mean if you went to Italy and met a Brandon whose parents had nothing to do with the US, it might be a little weird. Given that people seem to think it sounds exotic or something, it goes from weird to cringe. I am not talking about people who name the kid after the Italian grandmother or something (most people using these names do not fall into that category). [/quote]

DP. It's a name that's been used by English speakers for centuries. There has been at least one English born queens of England with the name Isabella (the wife of King John in the 13th century), and another (Scottish born) was very nearly Queen of Scotland. Isabella Whitney was an influential poet in the 16th century.

I think these arguments are usually silly, but this is an especially silly example.[/quote]

Fair enough. Now do Luca. [/quote]
