Help[Opinions] Re: Mario
in reply to a message by queenv
I mentioned this in my reply to Llewella, however-Mario is quite common where I live, where I don't think there's anyone of Italian ancestry.
(In French, but I'll do it in English)-"So, what are you calling the baby?
"Mario!"
"Oh, very nice, good name."

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.
