Yeah, I posted about it here a long time ago. It was so long ago that I know I wouldn't be able to find the link. I don't have time now, but I'll edit in the details later. Check back, lol.
Okay, the story is: My sister's husband's family, including his sister of course, is French Canadian. They moved to Massachussetts many years ago. His sister married an American of Italian descent. The sister and her husband have five children. The first three, all girls, were given French names. The fourth, a boy, was named after his father. When she was pregnant with the fifth, the Italian-American husband started saying that, since the girls all had French names, he wanted this baby to have an Italian name. So based upon that, they started joking that they'd name the baby Vito. My sister thought it was a total joke. Not a joke that they wanted an Italian name, but that the name would actually be Vito, she thought was a joke. They started calling the unborn baby Vito, but my sister still thought this was part of the joke. But when the baby was born, lo and behold, they really named him Vito.
