I really liked my maiden name, it was a good strong Roman name. Though surprisingly, often mispronounced Deh instead of DEE for the first syllable...weird.

I really like DH's name though. It's cool, exotic sounding, and the translation of what it means in English is so FLIPPING cool, at least to a vampire nerd like me. The only thing I don't like about it though is that I don't know how to pronounce it myself. DH pronounces it two different ways, depending on if he's speaking to a person with Greek heritage, or if he's speaking to someone with the misfortune of not being Greek . When I get frustrated and tell him to pick one and stick with it, he refuses...and his father is the same way! So finally he just told me to tell people the anglicized pronunciation, although on his own work voicemail he calls himself by the Greek pronunciation. And they sound like two completely different last names. ah-the-NAY-zee-oo vs. uh-THON-uh-SEE-oo.

call me an idiot... but I still can't pronounce etiher one of those names you wrote!! haha!

lol, i couldn't either!!

i love love my new last name. patterson is so easy, and i love having a super long name (danielle patterson)

but i feel like i lost my italian-ness. my last name was the only thing that assured people i was italian, bc my skin color certainly doesnt! im paler then pale, and ppl would always be like, you arent italian!! but delemo is a very difficult name for people to pronounce. (for the record, its duh-lemmo)

Hahahaha Ill never get these people that see an italian last name & think they need to change the consonants to make it seem as if they can speak italian. Its like people just pronounce it how you see it please. Dont screw my name up anymore then you just did. ugg lol

As for Ali's name is it like the Greek version of the italian last name pronounce by Americans as
An-tha-naz-e-o (which in italian is really Antanacio really pronounced An-ta-na-chio)?? Or am i not even close?? lol Or did that even make sense??? lol

This is why I'm not changing my name. I love DH but my last name is who I am and who I've been for 41 years. Plus, even he says, he likes my last name better................

Our kids will have his last name and I don't mind being called Mrs. M_____ but I'm still Gina S_______
