Back in the day - 1950s - would this have been considered an act of disrespect toward his (still living) father - to name his son Anthony, and not name him Vito after his grandfather? I get that Michael was attempting to de-Italianize his family so as to make moves toward legitimacy, and as such married a non-Italian wife and gave his children more neutral names - but would it not have been taken as a mark of disrespect for his father? Even if not by Vito himself, by outside Italian observers? He snubs his father of a namesake?
