When my mother's family came here, they even had to change their names to "more American sounding names". For example, "Helena" became Helen, and so forth....the american versions of the names.Today the opposite happens. Anglo parents will give their kids exotic "foreign-sounding" names. I am the only one in my family (cousins and nephews included) that has a non-Italian first name. Then I go to Italy where parents also now give their kids non-Italian names where Maria becomes Mary and Gregorio becomes Gregory. It seems that people will alsways find the grass to be greener on the other side. |
