Enzo is a pretty common name in Italy.

My husband is Vinchenzo and we call him Enzo. Its nice because we were able to name our son Vinchenzo and call him Vinnie so they have the same name but different nick names making it the best of both worlds in the name sake category.


Did you really use the h? It's completely wrong in Italian. It's Vincenzo.


Thanks, PP. I was just getting ready to comment on that. I hope this Italian doesn't actually spell his name Vinchenzo. LOL

LOVE Desmond. Would have used it if we had had a boy.

Same. It was on our list but didn’t go well with last name.

OTOH, I think Astrid is the worst name of all time.



I have alwys loved Astrid. Astrid Gilberto!

Wow. Names like Gertrude and Mildred sound really ugly. There’s a reason they fell out favor. Those sounds are harsh. Bridget has the same ugly alliteration.


DP. Really? Again?

Those were total vetoes by my husband.


I wanted to use Calvin for my son, and my husband vetoed it too . It is a family name in my family, and I think Cal is a great nickname. Oh well!

What less popular names have you heard and liked?

Mine are Gwendolyn and Isa.


It's too bad because when I named my DD Eleanor it was not at all a popular name. In fact, I got many people who said not to use it because it's too old lady. Oh well, I love it and always have.


I have an Eleanor, and same. When she was born, the name was in the 200’s on the social security chart for that year.
