Baby Boy

My wife and I are expecting are second boy in April and we can't decide on a name. First born is Luca. Below is our list of contenders.
  1. Dante
    • Origin:

      Latin diminutive of Durant
    • Meaning:

      "enduring"
    • Description:

      Though closely associated with the great medieval Florentine poet Dante Alighieri -- who's so famous most people skip the last name -- it's not as much of a one-man name as you might think. Heck, it's not even a one-poet name, thanks to British pre-Rapahaelite Dante Gabriel Rosetti. Though especially well used in the Italian-American community, it would make a striking name for any little boy.
  2. Emilio
    • Origin:

      Spanish and Italian variation of Emil
    • Meaning:

      "rival"
    • Description:

      Dashing and popular Italian and Spanish favorite, as is Emiliano. With the popularity of girl names Emily and Emilia and of Italian names for boys, this one is sure to receive more attention.
  3. Gennaro
    • Origin:

      Italian
    • Meaning:

      "January"
    • Description:

      This name of the patron saint of Naples would make an apt choice for a New Year's baby, or one with Neapolitan roots.
  4. Marco
    • Origin:

      Italian and Spanish form of Mark
    • Meaning:

      "warlike"
    • Description:

      Simple and universal, Marco is a Latin classic that would make a much livelier namesake for an Uncle Mark. It was used for her son by actress Jill Hennessy and goes well with surnames of any nationality.
  5. Rafael or Raffaele(Italian)
    • Taddeo
      • Origin:

        Italian variation of Thaddeus
      • Meaning:

        "gift of God"
      • Description:

        A particularly charming spin on the original, as is theSpanish name Tadeo. It debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2016.
