But they’ve narrowed down their choices for a first name for their boy-to-be to three, and according to Alyssa, “We’ll go with a slightly Italian name, so that it goes with Bugliari. So it’s not, like, Scott Bugliari.” Okay. Let’s take a look at some of the first names of male Italian celebrities:
There’s Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Al Pacino, Frank Sinatra, Tony Danza (who played her dad on “Who’s the Boss?). They sound like typical American names, but let’s take a look at the Italian versions of those names–Giuseppe, Roberto, Gianni or Giovanni, Alberto, Franco (although Sinatra’s nickname came from Francis), Antonio. We suspect that even a slightly Italian name will become “Americanized”.
