While we’re at it, why not Adolph(Adolpha-Hitlerina for a baby girl fascist), Coulter, Devila, Beelzebub, Lucifer, or Gacy? Those are nice.

My wife and I cannot decide between Adolph, Benito, Tito, Vlad, Ghengis, George or Dick for the son we are expecting in March. This may just help us narrow our decision if you don’t have to be an Italian to collect.
