I need a good Italian name

For our new show boy, born to Rome and Cairo. Since Rome is his sire, I would like an Italian name for this little guy.

He is currently listed as "Edgar" on my kitttens page.

Doesn't have to be the name of a city!

Helen, I hope you chime in here!

Help me out folks!

The name Enzo popped into my mind.

Bella713 has great Italian names!

I like Giovanni.

How about ancient roman names? That would be interesting, especially since the romans occupied (what is now) Cairo for a period about 2000 years ago.

Here's a list of governors of Roman Egypt, many with pretty spiffy sounding names - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...of_Roman_Egypt

Ravioli - good enough to eat.

How about Luciano, if he's very vocal.

Caesar!

"Render unto Caesar what is Ceasar's."

That is what I was going to suggest.

How about Trevi? Both a city and a fountain in Rome.

Someone brought a Cane Corso puppy in to the vet's office where I'm working today. The puppy's name was Bocco.

I'll third that!...

If you want a Roman name I suggest you go through a list of the Roman emperors, you could have a whole Imperial family in one litter!...

Caesar, Augustus, Claudius, etc...

Cats think they're in charge anyways...

Thanks for all the feedback and name suggestions!

We had a cat named Trevi awhile back, so although I like the name, I won't use that one this time.

I've got it narrowed down to 7 names from all your suggestions. I guess I should start a poll.

In no particular order:

Franco
Caesar
Octavius
Giovanni
Tiberius
Vincenzo
Valentino

I'll pick Giovanni and Valentino - depends on how much of a lover he is.
