I had an uncle Sal. Half the guys in Brooklyn used to be named Sal. It’s a super common Sicilian name and it’s not after the country. I also had an Aunt Lucia, come to think of it.


Do you really not know what "Sal" is an abbreviation for, for Italians?!

I’d pick one I have connection with. It would be weird to call your child Jamaica or Switzerland or Syria or Bhutan when you have no connection to the country.
