I'm creating an Italian character for something I'm writing and need a good last name for the female character. Preferably something that flows with Francesca and maybe something that's not extremely common. Thanks.
What's a good Italian last name?
You should prefer a short last name since her first name is rather long.
A few suggestions are :
Francesca Mori
Francesca Neri
Francesca Sani
Francesca Corsi
Francesca Meini
Francesca Nuti

Reply:Crocetti. That was the last name of my Italian teacher all through high school. Alberto Crocetti, you can not really get more Italian then that. It works pretty darn well with Francesca, too. Francesca Crocetti. I like it. Well, if you dont use it, i probably will. ;-)

What is the name of those Italian pretzels with fennel seed in them? My father-in-law. . .?
Taralli with Fennel
Makes: 4 to 5 dozen
Ring-shaped biscuits made throughout Southern Italy.
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm white wine
1/2 cup warm water
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups semolina flour
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lightly crushed fennel seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, scatter yeast over a mixture of white wine and water; leave for several minutes to bubble up, then stir to mix well.
Add flour, semolina, olive oil, fennel seeds, and salt. Mix together, then turn onto an unfloured board and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a clean, dry bowl, and return dough. Lightly oil the top, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 45 minutes or until puffy.
Divide the dough into small pieces. Roll each into a long, slim pencil, cut into 3-inch lengths, and pinch the two ends firmly together to form a ring.
Preheat the oven to 375掳F. Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and drop the taralli in, a few at a time. When the taralli rise, remove and drain on a kitchen towel.
Arrange boiled taralli on a greased cookie sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Makes 4 to 5 dozen.
Reply:They are called TARALLI

In Italy the name Nino is celebrated on Dec 15th.
In Spanish speaking countries (very similar language) is not included on the calendar to be celebrated.

Can Baroody be an italian name?
There's only one way for you to learn where your own ancestors' origins are - research them back each generation over time, history and geography.
Can Baroody be an italian name?
i'm inclined to think Lebanese. I noticed Rootsweb has some family trees for Baroody. You might look at them. Now information in family trees on any website must be taken as clues not as fact as most is not documented. Even if you see the same information over and over by different submitters a lot of copying is being done.
Reply:Just looking at the letters themselves, we know that there is no "y" in the Italian alphabet. So, the chances of it being Italian are very small unless the name came from somwhere else and the "y" survived. That would be rare.
Come to think of it, don't think I've seen a double "o" before either....
Reply:I would suggest asking this on the Baroody genealogy message boards at:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/baroody/
and
http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.baro...
On these boards, I read some of the posts and it seems like most of the focus is Lebanon, not Italy.
Good luck,
Dave
