After creating my "Names I could use for future kiddo's" list, I'm onto my guilty pleasures list ;).


I was introduced to a music group of three italian teen boys by a friend. One of the guys is named Giunluca. I actually like it with Luc instead of Luca. I would probably use Jean-Luc, but I kinda like Giun-Luc. WDYT?


Second, I fell in love with the name Vincenzo, prn: Ven-CHEN-zo. I heard it on Wizards of Waverly place. WDYT? I'm not mexican, so I couldn't ever use it, but I love it!


Any middle name suggestions for Giun-Luc/Jean-Luc or Vincenzo?


Thank you so much!

Was it Giunluca, or Gianluca?

I love Luca on it's own, but it's an interesting name!


As for Vincenzo, it's actually Latin and most commonly used in Italy, not Mexico.

Vincenzo is kinda cute, and I would also say that it sounds more Italian than Spanish. I have always liekd the name Vincent, so I am biased upon Vincenzo ;) But unfortunately I can't use it, because it is my nephew's mn!
Concerning Gianluca/ Giunluca and Jean-Luc, I would use one foreign version instead of mixing them. Jean-Luc is French, but it reminds me of Star Trek. Anyway, I prefer the Italian version Gianluca over Jean-Luc.

As for Vincenzo.... not being Italian I probably couldn't use it as a first name but I do love it for a middle <3

I think Jean-Luc is handsome, but I dislike how Gianluca looks, sorry! Just looks messy to me :( i wouldnt have ever guessed jean from gian haha. It is a guilty pleasure you said though?

Vincenzo is very interesting. Hehe :) fun to say!
