You can go from Pasquale to Patrick, but Kevin...Justin...Trevor...Jason...Kenneth...

"Walden...the fuck kinda name is that for an Italian?"


There was a Colombo associate who got deported back to Italy a few years ago who had the first name Walter. I always found it to be a strange name for a guy born in Italy, his parents might have went back and forth from Italy and the US.


Walter is not uncommon in the far North of Italy...you got to remember in the North of Italy that used to be Austria 110 years ago...


I never knew that was a common name there, this guy was Sicilian by the way. I got family from Germany that are Roma. They got a family tree picture and the great-grandfather name was Adolph, which I believe is a banned name in Germany now.
