My mistake, Blib. I erroneously thought you had the first post in the thread, but it was Mr. Blonde, who said he was Italian.

I haven't heard a lot of those names though.

The funniest ethnic incident I had involved meeting my wife's Italian grandmother 24 years ago. After I left, the famil asked what she thought of me and she said, "He's a pretty nice guy for an Irishman." My in-laws always remind me of this.
