Why is Bellomo called Barney and do people call him that to his face? seems like a funny nickname.
I've always wondered that too i can't see how people could jump from Liborio to Barney as a nickname.
Well, how else can you Americanize it? Libby? Please, that's just gay .
Everyone calls him Barney. It's how he refers to himself. It's not a "mob nickname." It's the name he's identified with since he was a kid. End of story.
