This is sort of unrelated, but a cute little mobster name ancedote.
My husband having grown up and lived in New York is really into mob history, watching documentarys, reading books etc.
When our son was born, he gave him the mob nickname "Louie Linguine Fat Tony Big Shoes" I can't explain it, he just did it.
16 years later he still calls our son Lou or Louie, sometimes across the yard he yells "hey Fat Tony". I can only remember a handful of times he's called him by his given name.
It turned out to be sort of prophetic. At the age of 13, he was wearing size 14 shoes.
