We are dear friends with an Italian family that has eleven children. The eighth child was a girl and she was named Carissima. As you can guess, names are harder to choose after seven girls and ten children. So, as the couple thought back to when they first met, they recalled their romantic letters to each other. She did not like her plain name, Helen, so he began his letters to her "Carissima Helen" (my dearest one, Helen). This term of endearment gave special meaning to her name. After all of their years together, he reminded her that she was still his dearest one. Romance has no time limit and they named their eighth daughter, Carissima. She then passed her name to her first daughter, her dearest one.
