I'm not sure whether you have seen the following two links. If you haven't, you may find them helpful:

Italian male give names: https://script.byu.edu/Documents/Nomi-Maschili.pdf

Italian female given names: https://script.byu.edu/Documents/Nomi-Femminili.pdf

Ofcourse not every Italian name will be recorded in these lists, and there is also bound to be alternative spellings, as well, to some of the names. The name Talia doesn't appear there, but Telia does. It could even be a shortened version of Ortelia. Ovidio is definitely in the male list linked here, but not Oviddio. There's possibly other lists around as well.
