My husband is opposed to my name choice for our son

My husband is opposed to my name choice for our son?
I really want to name our newborn son Night, but my husband would rather name him something like Elliot. I asked if Italy or Chance was okay and he looked at me like I was crazy. He says "Do you want him to grow up teased?" and I said "Well, don't you want him to be unique?" Then I finally said I'd settle for Napoleon and he gave up. It wasn't a serious fight (the nurses laughed), but our babay still doesn't have a name. Advice?

im sorry but he would be teased.

Would it really be so bad to let him have elliot? you son will be unique no matter what his name. it'll be better if he doesnt get teased growning up because of his name. kids already get teased enough growning up. dont give him an extra problem. And yes the names you chose are indeed weird. i would have looked at you crazy as well
3 :
how bout Name him Elliot night
4 :
Yea with those names he will get teased... Kemo is a unique and cool name... pernounced kee-mo
5 :
Oh dear, you both need advice!. Elliot?. noooo it sounds like idiot, Italy? Chance? Napoleon?, gawd 'elp you all....
6 :
Get your head examined. Elliot > every nutty suggestion you've come up with
7 :
I think I'm leaning toward your husband's ideas, however, some unusual names Donovan, Corbin, Dunstan, Cole, Finn, Doyle, Cooper

jacob kyle ethan aiden ryan rylan jace mikael isaiah matthew leon lou logan
9 :
Elliot's a perfectly nice name, you should go with it.
10 :
Ehhh, no offense but Night sounds a little to feminine. Italy is kind of strange. I have no problem with the name chance or elliot they both sound like good names(im more for elliot though because i always really liked the name Eli,which would probably what his friends would call him to shorten it :P) Napoleon is a little outdated in my opinion. here is a list of names i really like Maeson Aiden Jacob Aldous Eli Tyrone(If he's black(no racism intended)) Chris Dylan Kyle.. hope i helped
11 :
No offense, but Elliot IS a lot better than some of the names you came out with. Your son will get teased with a name like Night, Chance, or Italy. He will be unique, even with a normal name, and if you do give him a normal name it will save him from a life time of teasing.
12 :
I literally smacked my head off my desk when I read "Well, don't you want him to be unique?" You think your child won't stand out because of his name? That's pretty damn sad. I think your name suggestions are more wacky than unique. I'm guessing the nurse was laughing at your name choices. My advise would be to pick a name of foreign origin, maybe Irish or Germanic. That way it's unique while still being legitimate. Or go look at the top 1000 names of 2009. Start scanning outside the top 100, that way you can find a name that you won't see/hear to often, but is still know to others. Suggestions: Nolan Micah Oliver Flynn Jericho Rhys/Reece Patrick Seth Story Ash
13 :
What about instead of Chance name him Chase
14 :
Let your husband name the kid since you obviously want to torture the child.
15 :
Night. No Elliot. Yes I'm sorry, but I'm siding with your husband. Night would be teased...

Getting work in Italy is difficult at the moment, and it also depends on which country you come from. If you have a passport from a EU country then you can work legally in Italy. However, if you're from the US or Canada you can only stay in the country as a tourist for 90 days out of every 180 days without a visa, and you cannot work during this time. There are long-stay visas, but even then you need to prove that you can support yourself financially without working. To work in Italy you will need to be offered a job first, then the employer will provide a work visa, but the employer then has to prove that no Italian or EU citizen is available to fill that position. You'll also find it very difficult to find any sort of work in Italy if you cannot speak the language.

i think the best work you can find is as mother tongue/baby sitter or as teacher in an english school or as a private english teacher as a teacher you can ask about 20 euro/h
3 :
Why would you expect the ads to be in any other language? Working here would require you to be able to understand and speak Italian. That said, the healthcare industry may be the best opportunity for people looking for work in this difficult economy. Moving to another country is not easy, especially with the current world economy. EU citizens have the right to live and work freely here; others require a visa to do so legally. The following applies to non-EU citizens who want to work in the EU in general and Italy in particular. The site for visas here in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. It also includes education visas which are somewhat easier to get than work visas. You can find similar information for other countries on their consulate websites. The rules in much of the EU have been harmonized and will be similar. You cannot apply for the visa from Italy; you need to do that before you arrive. When you get here, you will have to apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno (Permission to Stay) from the authorities. With the economy now, jobs are scarce - a lot of companies have a hiring freeze in place. The unemployment rate in Spain is around 20% for example and almost 50% in the 16 to 24 year old age group. A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience. When I got my visa several years ago, the process took about 8 months even though it was just a transfer of a job I was already doing from the US to Italy. There are working holiday visas available in Ireland or Australia for US citizens, but not in the rest of Europe. However, in the current economy, jobs are likely to be hard to find. Many of the recent university graduates I know here are either unemployed or working jobs like cashier at groceries. Casual jobs for traveler's are few and far between right now. It's useful to check the expat sites for information about living and working in the places you might be interested in: http://www.expatsinitaly.com/ http://www.escapeartist.com/ http://www.expatica.com/ There are similar sites specific to just about any country you might be interested in that you can find by searching for "ex pat" or "expat" and the name of the country; these are oriented to Italy because that's where I moved. Generally, the expat sites will have a lot of good information on daily life and negotiating the bureaucracy when you arrive and provide you with useful information you should know before you make the transition. The websites of the consulates of the countries you might be interested in are also a good starting point. I'm not aware of anyone who is hiring currently in the city where I live and some business are cutting back on employees. The cost of living here is generally higher than in the US. In addition, you would want to check the tax situation carefully. Here in Italy, I have to file returns in both the US and Italy every year as a US expat. It can be quite complex and expensive.
4 :
I think that the last answer is very exhaustive, but if you need something else ask to me. I'm Italian and live in Rome. Good luck!
5 :
i don't really understand why people want to come here cause i hate italy but if you look for a job now the situation is hard... what studies did u do? you can do the conversation teacher in some schools..or help students at home with english homework... if u need to translate something email me

If I stay longer then 90 days in Italy and then leave back to the US

If I stay longer then 90 days in Italy and then leave back to the US....?
would the Italian authorities find out when I go to the airport and show my passport? would they see that I over stayed without permission? what happens to a US citizen in Italy if they overstay but dont do anything else illegal. and they also dont need to work in Italy either. advice/knowledge on the subject please? I would love to live in Italy for a few years to learn Italian but I know I wouldn't qualify to live there legally as I am not a nurse or English teacher etc and its just not an option. BQ what about france?

If you overstay then when you leave Italy the immigration records computer will flag up your overstay immediately. As a minimum you will be allowed to leave but the overstay will be stamped in your passport and the authorities in all of the EC countries will be informed. As a result you are unlikely to allowed back into the EC in the future.

Nothing happens. I have verified that my self many many times. And I've had runins with most the police forces there too. Don't worry, do what you want to do. France you have to just stay out of trouble and they leave you alone. Especially if your white.
4 :
If you don't need to work in order to afford your stay here, then you can apply for a student visa or an elective residence visa and stay here legally. Those are much easier to get than a work visa. You would need to show that you have a place to stay and the resources to afford to stay without working. http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp
