Yeah, you'll see americanized named like that given by parents who are themselves americanized and don't have a clue, or don't follow Italian tradition anymore. Or where parents have split ethnicities such, or intermarry with other nationalities, who pick names not in keeping with Italian surnames such as; Kevin Coppola, Patrick Horowitz, Justin Notarbartolo, etc. Lol

The first and last names don't really correlate with one another but what are you gonna do? Today it's a whole different ballgame.
