Italian names in my family:
Domenico (goes by Domenic or Dom) Salvatore Addolorato (goes by Danny) Giacomo (goes by Jimmy) Giuseppe Laurino (goes by Larry) Francesco (goes by Frank) Nicola (goes by Nick) Giovanni Paolo Antonio Most of these are older relatives who were born in Italy in the 40's-50's or earlier and then moved to the US, hence the old man American nicknames. |

Same PP - I've seen Ciro, Mattia, and Marco too on FB (family in Italy). Our family had a Mattias I think, but not Mattia. I know in NYC Dominic is like the #1 name now, but I haven't seen any family or friends of friends on FB with that name in Italy. Looks like Marco is the most popular. |
