This is the name of my sister's husband's sister's youngest child. Her parents are French Canadian, and her husband is an American of Italian descent. Their first three children were all girls, and they all have French names. Their fourth child, a boy, was named after his father. The dad said for the fifth, since the girls all had French names, he wanted an Italian name. While she was still pregnant, they began calling the baby Vito. My sister thought it was a joke, based upon the fact that the dad wanted an Italian name, but lo and behold, when the baby was born, they actually named him Vito!

What do you think of Vito? My sister and I thought it was ridiculous, and couldn't stop laughing, but maybe we were just being too pedestrian.
