Whether you want to honor your family’s heritage or you and your boo simply went on an amaaazing trip to the Amalfi Coast and you want to cherish those memories by giving your kiddo a moniker inspired by your vacay, there are plenty of Italian baby names to choose from. (Side note: If you’re picking a name based on where your lil one was conceived, I salute you. Please invite me to witness the moment when you horrify your 8-year-old with that information.)

I’m guessing you probably don’t have time to research the best Italian baby names by jetting off to Europe, which is why I’ve gone ahead and put together a list of the 100 most popular Italian baby names—with some help from the Italian National Institute of Statistics, which is kind of like the Italian version of the Census Bureau. The INIS keeps track of all the babies born in Italy plus what people are naming their new bbs. Here are the most popular Italian baby names so you can start ordering monogrammed gear as soon as possible.

By the way, if you’re still on the fence about committing to the Italian route, spend some time perusing the following lists: the most popular baby names of 2020, unique baby names for non-boring parents, unisex baby names, baby names inspired by food, and, finally, classic baby names. Good luck!
