As an Italian with an "unusual" name [1] that no one can ever pronounce or spell (though that is slowly changing thanks to Alessia Cara's growing fame!), I know that though it can be difficult having an Italian name in America, I'd never change it for a more common moniker [2]. Italian names roll off the tongue like a song, and should you choose one for your baby, you can ensure they'll stand out in a crowd of Michaels and Emilys and constantly receive compliments on their beautiful name (trust me, I know).
