Help[Opinions] Mario
I've had Mario on my mind the last few days. And somehow I'm not just picturing the Nintendo character or A.C. Slater. Are those too tied to it for you? It just seems friendly but tough; it's rather pleasant.
Combo ideas? I got nothing. I kind of want to put something else Italian with it, but then I think it might be Italian overload.

I know many guys named Mario! Quite a usual name where I live, little kids and older men. Good name!
No combos come to mind, I'm not very good with those.

You're not picturing Nintendo or Slater, eh? If I could get past those, it might work. There is nothing wrong with Mario, but it's too tied to Nintendo for me. Friendly but tough is the feeling I get too.
Interestingly, Luigi is different. I can appreciate it outside of Nintendo. Go figure. Luigi is the light-hearted goofball who feels much less responsibility than Mario.
Back to Mario. Definitely no Italian middle names!

Mario is very very Nintendo. I actually think pairing it with something Italian may actually help lessen the association, however people may jump to the conclusion that the child is Italian.

I think it would be pretty difficult to separate from the iconic video game (and to a lesser degree, Slater. Plus there's Lemieux if you're Canadian and/or a hockey fan). You could pull it off if you were Italian, of course. I think Marius would be a better option otherwise.

I'm kind of a weirdo, because I love seeing popular culture names on real, ordinary people. My friend dated a Mario and I was like "AWESOME". Now I'm dating a Raphael and I'm like "AWESOME". If somebody else starts dating a Yoshi or a Kirby, I might die of awesome. I think of Mario as modern, energetic, helpful, and full of fun beep-bop-boop sounds.
Let's see, Mario combo...

Mario (and Dario) was super popular here in my generation, so I know a ton of them and find it boring. I've never played Nintendo or watched the TV show so they mean nothing to me (I do know who they are, but it's just another name to me).
We don't use middle names, so I've not seen Mario in combos in real life. How about:
Mario Albert
Mario Simon
Mario Gavin
Mario Emanuel
Mario Nathaniel
Mario William
Mario Peter
Mario Luka
Mario Dominik
Mario Valentin
Mario Zvonimir
Mario Filip
Mario Adam
Mario Boris
Mario Owen

My Grandfather was named Mario (and I know several, but my family is from Italy).
In fact, his brother is named Luigi, but they were carpenters not plumbers. :)
I think it totally works today. I have known young guys with the name and most go by Mo, but a couple go by the full Mario or Rio.
If I had to combo the name, I might pick something that is generally European, rather than strictly Italian.
Such as:
Mario Andrea
Mario Leone
Mario Dante
Mario Luca
Mario Raul
Mario Gian
Mario Isaiah
Mario Vincent
Mario Simon
Mario Walter

Yeah, I think of Super Mario. Or a big fat Spanish mustache guy selling tomatoes and cucumbers on a market.

hehehe.

To me, Mario is so stereotypically Italian that it's almost a joke. I can't really take it seriously.

Here, it would be considered more along the lines of Vito. I think this is one instance where a name's real impact on the American public in general is being unrecognized by BtNers, even American ones.
I grew up in a part of the United States in which many people of Italian descent live, and, in fact, my older half-brother and half-sister are half Italian and the grandchildren of Italian immigrants, but I've never known or heard of a Mario.
