522.0. "SICILIAN BABY" by WLDWST::VITALE () Thu Apr 19 1990 08:22

    
    
    Hello. My name is Glendora Manjares Vitale. I'm filipina. My husband
    is Sicilian. His names is Giuseppe Joseph. We've been trying to
    have a baby. I already have a name for our future baby boy..........
    Giuseppe Glenn and if it the baby is a girl her name will be .......
    Giovanna Glendora. The boy's nickname will be probably either Joey
    or still Giuseppe and the baby girl's nickname will be Gina. 
    Hopefully, we'll have an offspring by next winter, if the Lord 
    provides.
    Thank you.
    I really enjoy reading my NOTES!!! 
    Thanks for whoever invented it.

    What nice names!  I've never heard of Giovanna - it sounds wonderful
    with Vitale as a last name.  Giovanna Glendora Vitale...  Gina is cute 
    for short also!
    
    Giuseppe Glen is also neat.  How is that pronounced?  JO-SEP-PE?
    
    Good luck to you and your "future" family!

    Christina, Giuseppe is pronounced je-zep'-ee or ju-zep'-ay, depending
    on the family's dialect!  Actually, my family is from Abruzzi, where
    they are notorious for dropping final vowel sounds, so in my family
    it's pronounced jew-zep'.  (And yes, we also say manicot, raviol,
    prosciut, etc. ;-)

    Susan & Christina,
    
    My husband, Giuseppe was born in Sicily. His family calls him Peputso
    (I don't know if I'm writing the name Peputso properly, correct
    me please!) when he was a toddler. But when he got older they call
    him Joseph.
    He grew up in here in San Jose, CA. By the way, where are you located
    currently???
    
    Ciao'
    Glendora
