A unique thing about the Italian names is the naming conventions that the Italians have. The first female child gets the name of her paternal grandmother and the second girl gets the name of her maternal grandmother. It is the same with boys and the pattern continues in the same alternate format! Isn't it interesting. Hope you have found the perfect female Italian name for your baby girl, amongst these. All the best!
