[Facts] Re: name update
Hi !!!Wonderful !!!
100 names added and so many updated!
I also saw all new popularity lists...
Thanks and well done !!!Like every update I will ask you about the deleted names ( ALEIT (f) FELICITAS (2) (f) GEBBERT (m) GIACHETTA (f) HUPPERT (m) JUTTE (f))I saw that you added Giacomina and deleted Giachetta.
It is a good fact because Giacomina is the right diminutive in my experience. Its archaic version is Giacometta but I saw it only about Queen Elizabeth Woodville's mother (Jaquetta in English). So I'm quite sure that Giacomina is the only survival between the diminutives. And the other 5 names?ByeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeAlvise Basilio Beniamino Bruno Dante Dionisio Eros Fabrizio Filippo Fulvio Furio Giorgio Giosuè Goffredo Isidoro Leonardo Leone Ludovico Manfredi Martino Niccolò Orlando Romeo Sirio Tancredi Tristano Tullio Valentino Vasco

Hi Felie,As you say, Giachetta was incorrect. Huppert and Gebbert are more common as surnames, being quite rare as given names. Felicitas (1) and (2) were merged. Aleit and Jutte can maybe be re-added in the future if more information appears to firm up the usage and origin information.Take care,
Mike
