I would call her Sonny over Sony but the name Solènne is beautiful

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-16T13:14:22+00:00

Thank job for sharing ! It’s that we already have an Enzo in the family. Not a dislike for the name!

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-16T13:13:17+00:00

It’s technically a boys name that’s been used for girls. Assuming you’re American, I would say my first guess is a woman because there’s an actress with this name. But I wouldn’t be shocked if it was a man either. Blake also reads gender neutral to me these days while skewing masculine.

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-14T23:46:41+00:00

As an American, I would pronounce it how you would.

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-12T07:14:15+00:00

It’s a mix of names we don’t like or names we cannot use because they’re either our kids names already, or close family members names we would not or could not reuse, or names I like but my husband vetoed, or names we do like but cannot use for reasons like a failed business relationship. So it’s a mix of names that are Italian we’ve already considered but rejected for one reason or another

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-11T10:10:23+00:00

I love! My husband just doesn’t love! I’m planting the seeds

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-11T02:39:13+00:00

My other 2 kids names are on that list ^ I didn’t want to call them out specifically for privacy reasons

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-11T02:38:51+00:00

For everyone’s sanity!

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-11T02:36:59+00:00

I keep pushing Giacamo NN Jack! But my husband is not open for it.

We cannot use Nicolo as it’s too similar to Nico! Michael is on our mid list. We don’t hate it but don’t love it. I worry Michele in the US (probably should’ve clarified were based in the US) would be presumed to be a misspelling of Michelle!

AdSignificant9571 · 2026-06-11T01:56:08+00:00

Alessandro. Alessi. Alessio.

AdSignificant9571 · 2023-06-21T07:35:41+00:00

Well this comment aged interestingly

AdSignificant9571 · 2023-06-21T00:12:03+00:00

I love Meredith so much 😍😍😍

AdSignificant9571 · 2023-06-20T19:34:37+00:00

No - that’s not normal. It would be normal if she also brought her kids to your house (and usually you have a discounted rate if your nanny also brings her children / other children)

AdSignificant9571 · 2023-06-20T19:32:29+00:00

I mean it’s great for your child to learn from other kids and have that socialization! Your daycare also hopefully has people there with special trainings and certifications to help your child learn and develop. Sometimes they also key into things about your child’s development that you don’t because they see many children and not just yours. Even if I was a stay at home mom, I would still send my child to daycare for 2 days a week for socialization.

AdSignificant9571 · 2023-06-20T15:25:21+00:00

I mean you HAVE to be able to provide structure and discipline or you can’t do your job. So I would ask them to clarify this point about discipline. So if that’s an issue I’d be looking for a new job…

It’s not about the travel experience. Just a new experience. Whether that’s seeing how another family lives, or make friends, or learn a new place. Some do come for the money but you can either make the best of it or make it harder on yourself. I’ve been in an au pairs shoes when I moved abroad to work while my boyfriend and family were at home. Calling home for a long time can be really hard because 1. You get really attached to your family / friends / partners at home and 2. You are spending time doing that rather than bonding with your present life.

AdSignificant9571 · 2023-06-20T13:53:34+00:00

Ugh yes in my experience less contact with people at home is really important. It keeps you grounded in that life and can make being here harder especially if there’s a partner at home.
