Change my Name?

Anthony11 Comments

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

This is an intriguing question. I have a very straightforward answer. My name comes from my father, grandfather, and great grandfather.

Anthony Andrew Aquino Jr.

I will share a quick tidbit about the origins of my shortened first name as my Great Grandfather told me years ago.

When many of the Italian immigrants came to Ellis Island long ago, since they didn’t speak English they sported a tag that read “TONY” short for “To New York”.

Thank you as always for reading.

  5. I guess Tony’s was/is a very common name.

    Here’s a little off topic joke about the automobile brand FIAT, since I live in Italy: You know what FIAT is standing for?

    Stands for: Fix It Again Tony 😊

    Seriously they’re quite good cars. I had one FIAT for 11 years with no major problems 💪
