Wow, PB - You're right...I've never heard of those names before. I bet it makes it easier to find paisan? When I was younger, I was told that the surname "Esposito" was a common name given to children abandoned or orphaned - especially in the Naples area. My great grandmother was an Esposito from Naples. I like to tell my kids the story of Raffeale Esposito - the pizza maker from Napoli who made Queen Margherita the now famous "Pizza Margherita" with basil, tomato and moozadell. "Great Uncle Ralphie"!
