Hi from Italy! Soooo I’d like to give you some insights from a native italian -Giannina in Italy is actually more of an old lady’s name. -Valentina, Ilaria, Noemi, Silvia and Bianca are quite popular here -Bianca means pure but literally translates to white. -You absolutely nailed the Elena and Normi pronunciation 👍🏼 -The right italian spelling for the city Sienna would be Siena - And finally Miucchia is pronounced with a hard “k” because the “ch” always makes the sound “k” Always love your videos ❤️
@@SJ_Strum I think you just got the spelling wrong, the way you pronounce the name in the video it's right but you'd have to write it "Miuccia" which is a variant of "Mia" that literally means "mine".
Hmm I'd love for these names and meanings from indigenous cultures to be shared but as someone who lives in NZ with a Māori connection, I'd be worried that these names could be used out of context and without full consideration of what these names mean. I just hope for respect to be shown to our native peoples cultures and that we do not take the meaning away from their precious language. Direct translations to names such and my name, Rebecca in Māori is Ripeka, is obviously a different situation as they are translations to English names. The use of names which have a tie to the earth with all living things or spirituality such as Nīkau (a native tree) or Anahera (Angel) or Tui (native bird), I fear that these names can be used with disregard of culture and may only be used for the 'cool, unique-ness' of the names, especially when used in countries other than NZ. I just want to make those who see this aware that these native names come from a precious language and these should not be torn away for style purposes that can disregard their meanings and if you are looking into using native names, to understand why you are choosing this name and what the language means to you. Please do not take more than what already has been taken from these communities.
@@rebeccamjatkinson I believe SJ tries her best to share multicultural names with respect and brings awareness to the culture, meanings and origin, anyone could find one of these names online and decide to use it without knowledge. Such beautiful names should be shared don't you think? 💕
@@darlenet3633 I don't doubt this youtuber would share cultural names with any disrespect or disregard, it is those who watch and decide to take these names without will to understand. These videos are very 'trendy' name videos. I am only here as my sister is having a baby and was showing me some of these. Of course these names can be found online and anyone can use them if they so desire but I just hope that they wont ever be misused. I felt the need to be a voice if reality that these names hold great mana (power) and especially for the Māori culture is very spiritual and connected. This is obviously a touchy subject due to the controversy it can stew (which I hate to participate in but I had to say something). I personally believe that these names should be used by indigenous people only and their descendants. It belongs to them.
I once taught a Valentino and he was the sweetest little boy ever... loved that name ever since! I also love Serafina and my niece’s name is Florence 😍 This list reminded me of the Saccone Jolys, I especially love Alessia! ❤️
I lived in Austria for a year when I was younger and fell in love with many of the popular names there. There is a lot of overlap with German names, but there are some lovely historical and unique Austrian names that I think would make for a great list.
Just shared this channel with my auntie who is pregnant and due a baby in October. I am sure she'll love all these amazing themes and different videos you have. Thanks again SJ xx🙏💙
When mentioning Italian place names, I’ve always loved Lucca for a boy which is a nice variation on Lucas or Luke. It’s a city in Tuscany and I think (???) it means something to do with “Light”. I LOVE it and you don’t hear many boys with the name in the UK x
I just finished watching Love is Blind and instantly added ‘Giannina’ to my list! It sounds sooooo pretty 😍 Loved the video as always 💕 Also: happy belated Mother’s Day to all moms!
SJ Strum - it’s so weird that UK and US mother’s days aren’t the same; Father’s Day is the same though. 🤷♀️ I have to set myself a reminder to check the date in early March because there are no reminders in the US for UK Mother’s Day. (I’m from the UK but live in the US. All my family are still in the UK.)
I loved the names Noemi and Elena but I’d say No-ey-mi instead of No-è-mi though. Would you like to do a Dutch name list? I don’t actually know any Dutch babyname vloggers but I would definitely want to send you the pronunciations if you’d want that!
As a rule of thumb, Italian baby names that end with an A are for gilrs. Baby names that end with an O are for boys. There are exception of course like Andrea or Nicola, which are boy names.
Our daughter’s name is Roma (like the city) James (is a family name). Her three older brothers all have place/surnames for first names and family names for middle names, Parker Bruno, Hudson Frederick, and Campbell Robert. Roma isn’t a name that I’ve heard often. Have you come across it in your searches?
Roma is not an Italian name. It's used in Eastern Europe as a short name for Roman, male name. It's illegal in Italy to call your child with a city name.
Your pronunciation of Elena is so interesting to me because in the US it’s pretty much always pronounced Uh-Lay-Nuh and I’ve never heard it pronounced any other way!
That's exactly how I and everyone is my country pronounces it too. The same as Elena in the film Zorro! I'm in Australia. Eleanor to me is a completely different pronunciation with a strong R at the end. I'm surprised the British are different as we usually share similar pronunciations.
I would love this too. My grandfather is italian and we decided to name our son, Elio, after him. We are wanting baby number 2 to also have an Italian name so need some to go on my boys list. When googling mostly the top 10 common Italian names come up but I'd love some more lesser known ones
I love these. I have a hunch baby #3 is a girl. I’ve been soooo sick! 😂 I’ll find out in five more weeks! I love Mirabella, Giannina, and Noemi... I already have a Nathaniel and Ameliana. I told my husband that we don’t need any baby name books because SJ’s lists are far better! 😘
@Emily Frances Have you guys considered Amelia? It sounds similar but is different. I personally prefer Amalia, but it's not as similar to Emilia as Amelia is.
Wow your channel’s catered to me this week! My family’s Italian so I’m obsessed with finding beautiful Italian names. Obviously I love Lucia, but my favourites are Emilia, Giulia and Ginevra 💕 Would love to see your baby boy picks, they seem much harder to come by!
I would love to see a Spanish baby name list, and possibly one with names from native dialects from Mexico, like Nahuatl and Mayan and Aztec baby names! ☺️💕
You should do a prehistoric or Stone Age theme baby name video! Idk what that list would consist of or what those names would sound like, but it would be very interesting if there was a video out there like this in case someone is looking into those kinds of names! Im not entirely sure how you’d make a name list inspired by those time periods. But that’s why it’d be interesting!
Oh and also the name Miucchia is pronounced Miukia, the "ch" sounds like "k", it would be pronounced the way you said if you took the "h" out. Hope i've helped :D
Hi! Italian here: Giannina is a very old fashioned name, as is Mirabella. Sienna is not an italian name at all! You're right, it's an italian city, but we don't use it as a name for human beings 😂 Miucchia is actually spelled Miuccia, and it's quite unusual here :)
I am Italian 🇮🇹 and I love Italian boy names, My favorites are: Emanuele Giovanni (which is common I know) Luca Edoardo Nicola Andrea Riccardo Davide Gioele Gianluca Alessandro
Elena is my middle name, named after my abuela and some other Spanish relatives, we pronounce it el-en-ah with emphasis on the 'en' rather than the 'el' part but in South America it's pronounced el-lay-nah with emphasis on the 'lay' so sometimes that can be confusing since it changes depending on where you're from. Elena means light and it sounds pretty either way :) My name is Libby Elena so it means free & light
I'm Italian, my name is Benedetta. It means 'blessed' and the most popular nickname is Bene. I expected it not being on yout list because it's not very common and it's pretty hard to pronounce for English speakers. Love your videos
If you want to do dutch or Russia names the a youtuber called Masha from the channel beautygloss would be a good one to work with. She pregnant and due in july. Her family is Russian but she grew up in the Netherlands.
I saw this on your community tab and thought of a few but never thought about my own name, haha! I work with a few Italian people who all have lovely names, a couple of which were on your list! Valetina, Ilaria, Gloria, Giulia, and Giada! Italian names are so beautiful :).
I am a Bianca my fathers Italian so it’s a nod to his heritage. I feel like it was quite popular around the 90’s when I was born as I went on school with a handful of Biancas.
Could you please do a baby name video of names which suit the baby of an interracial couple? Something that sounds generally ‘exotic’ but easy enough for people to pronounce? Our relationship is English/Indian(Hindu) and even though we aren’t at the baby stage yet I can never find anything that would even remotely fit! Love the vids ❤️
I fell in love with the name Silvia when you mentioned it. I've always seen it as Sylvia, but for some reason Silvia changes it a whole different mood. I LOVE it. . Also today, I came across the name Maevyn for a girl, and I immediately thought of this channel's love of the name Maevery and Maeve, which are both beautiful names. It is pronounced like Maven (which is also a pretty spelling in of itself and could be a girl's name or boy's name), which means expert or specialist. I love this strong meaning and the spelling and the hard V sound followed by the soft N. I was so excited I would just like to share!
I love strong and feminine girl names and pretty much all the Italian names I know give me that vibe. I absolutely love your list. My favorite Italian names are Antonella, Francesca and Chiara.
Thank you for these, S.J! Chiara and Gaia are pretty big in Italy right now. Chiara meaning clear (pure) and Gaia meaning cheerful. I love that you did this! XOXO from the States and northern Italy! 👍🌹
Bosnian name list would be very cool. A couple highlights you might like for girls: Amina, Ajla (pronounced like Isla), Naida, Ilhanna, Magdalena, Zara, and Džana (pronounced kinda like John-ah).
Luca (or Lucca) is one of my fav cities in Italy and makes a cute name! We always went to Italy when I was younger so this is so nice! I can give you some suggestions for Dutch names if you want?
I would love to see a video were you compare pronunciation the same name pronounced in different languages. We did our best to check it for our daughters name and its extremely different in each language.
Lovely names. I had to re-wind a few times and listen again because you spoke so fast today. Maybe it could be that I just woke up. I liked Silvia and Valentine best.
I absolutely love Miucchia! For italian boy names I love Gabriele, Loris, Mattia, Aleandro (my partners name and a version of the spanish Alejandro), Emiliano, Massimiliano and Federico. Other Italian girl names I love are Diletta, Ilenia, Carlotta, Leonora, Gioia, Giada and Ludovica
Yay so excited to see all the videos of names from around the world!!! 🌎 In Argentina (spanish) we say e-LE-na and noemÍ with a strong accent on the i. I would think that since we had a lot of Italian immigration and the root of our languages is the same it would be pronounced that way in italian as well. But I’m not sure
I love Italian Baby names. Elena has been on my list for when I have a baby since the first season of Vampire Diaries . I’d pronounce it as E-lay-na like the do in the series
Hey SJ, love your videos. I always wondered about names that would sound similar in english and spanish, for example for a couple who come from different countries. New challenge?
Bianca means white in the feminine form too. My niece and nephew are half Italian and are called Juniper and Keaton- neither J or K are letters that are used in traditional Italian words, they use gi/e for j sound and ch for k.
Yayyy I'm so excited for a Scottish names vid! 🏴 My fave Scottish names are: Lachlan, Hamish, Fergus Eilidh, Elspeth, Sheena 😊 I'm really interested to see which Scottish names you like!
Could you do a French baby name list? Boy and girl names in France are so gorgeous!

Hi from Italy!
Soooo I’d like to give you some insights from a native italian
-Giannina in Italy is actually more of an old lady’s name.
-Valentina, Ilaria, Noemi, Silvia and Bianca are quite popular here
-Bianca means pure but literally translates to white.
-You absolutely nailed the Elena and Normi pronunciation 👍🏼
-The right italian spelling for the city Sienna would be Siena
- And finally Miucchia is pronounced with a hard “k” because the “ch” always makes the sound “k”
Always love your videos ❤️
Angela Muzzarelli thank you so much! Ahhhh I listened to how her name was pronounced but it must be wrong - the internet is so hard! 😂🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Another Italian here, I'm not alone!
@@SJ_Strum I think you just got the spelling wrong, the way you pronounce the name in the video it's right but you'd have to write it "Miuccia" which is a variant of "Mia" that literally means "mine".
Miuccia Prada is spelled without the H, so it is a soft ch pronunciation
Italian girls help me out! Looking for a cute girl name starting with a J or a sounding of J at the beginning please ❤️
I’d love to see Maori, aboriginal Australian, Native American or Inuit names
I agree !
Yes!

I would probably say Ay-lay-na (with enphasis on the second syllable) to Elena. That's how we pronounce that name in Dutch!
Eline I would say Eh-lay-na also with the emphasis on the second syllable :)

Love Roma! I considered it for my daughter but thought it was bit too out there for the very traditional area I live in. Great choice!
There probably won’t be many people called Roma in Europe because in a lot of countries it’s used as a derogatory term similar to “Gypsies”.

@@kelliehorn1082 my list is probably. A lot bigger now haha
I would love a list of Galician baby names, they will surprise you 💖✌🏻
Elena has to be my favorite on this list by far.
My boyfriend is Sicilian, his name is Alessio and his parents are Genoveffa (Gina for short) and Francesco (Franco)
Bosnian name list would be very cool. A couple highlights you might like for girls: Amina, Ajla (pronounced like Isla), Naida, Ilhanna, Magdalena, Zara, and Džana (pronounced kinda like John-ah).
Ooh love these, so beautiful! Would absolutely love if you could do a Greek baby names list! Xxx
Luca (or Lucca) is one of my fav cities in Italy and makes a cute name! We always went to Italy when I was younger so this is so nice! I can give you some suggestions for Dutch names if you want?
The double c has the same sounding of ch the name is with just one c
I would love to see a video were you compare pronunciation the same name pronounced in different languages. We did our best to check it for our daughters name and its extremely different in each language.
Mirabella is lovely 😍 my friend is Greek and she’s called Eleni which I think is really beautiful, I suppose that’s the Greek form on Elena!
My middle name is Valentina. It was originally going to be my first name :)
Ahhh it's stunning! Love Gabriella too xx
your setting and outfit look so lovely here just thought you should know !!!
Valentina is very pretty! I also love Eleonora and Lucia!
Lovely names. I had to re-wind a few times and listen again because you spoke so fast today. Maybe it could be that I just woke up. I liked Silvia and Valentine best.
You should do an Aussie baby name video
Noemi a named also used in a lot of Spanish speaking countries, along with a lot of these names.
So cool seeing my name here! 😁
Never clicked so fast on a video! I have been waiting for this one since I started following you!
Ahhh I hope you love these names! I tried a mix of popular and more unique ones! The boys list is amazing! xxx
I absolutely love Miucchia!
For italian boy names I love Gabriele, Loris, Mattia, Aleandro (my partners name and a version of the spanish Alejandro), Emiliano, Massimiliano and Federico.
Other Italian girl names I love are Diletta, Ilenia, Carlotta, Leonora, Gioia, Giada and Ludovica
Could you do israeli names? I would love to help you!
Yay so excited to see all the videos of names from around the world!!! 🌎 In Argentina (spanish) we say e-LE-na and noemÍ with a strong accent on the i. I would think that since we had a lot of Italian immigration and the root of our languages is the same it would be pronounced that way in italian as well. But I’m not sure
The only reason I look forward to Mondays 💕💕
I love Italian Baby names. Elena has been on my list for when I have a baby since the first season of Vampire Diaries . I’d pronounce it as E-lay-na like the do in the series
I’m half Italian so I’m always trying to find Italian names for my future kids. Already got a few but this has help loads hahah!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍
Hey SJ, love your videos. I always wondered about names that would sound similar in english and spanish, for example for a couple who come from different countries. New challenge?
Please do a list of Russian names. As a Russian myself I'd be interested to see what names you'd pick as pretty/meaningful. Love your videos xx
In terms of Italian place names, what about Verona for a little girl? Think with the Romeo and Juliet link, it’s such a romantic name!💕
This has made my bday!! Can’t wait to watch 😇 X
Bianca means white in the feminine form too. My niece and nephew are half Italian and are called Juniper and Keaton- neither J or K are letters that are used in traditional Italian words, they use gi/e for j sound and ch for k.
here in Germany we say Eh-leh-na,
but my italian friends always pronounce my name the italian way & i love the way that sounds as well ❤
Yayyy I'm so excited for a Scottish names vid! 🏴
My fave Scottish names are:
Lachlan, Hamish, Fergus
Eilidh, Elspeth, Sheena 😊
I'm really interested to see which Scottish names you like!
My grandmother from Argentina/Italy is called Noami. We pronounce it as No-A-Me and it ends up broken up almost like that. I do like it a lot!
Miucchia sounds so sweet! My fave from your list is Noemi though. :)
