One side of my family is Irish (where my name comes from) and the other is Italian. My mother's aunts and uncles were given "Americanized" names when they came over from Italy. I might be forgetting some (there were a lot) but this is how they were changed:
Renaldo - Raymond
Dominic - stayed Dominic
Arduino - Andy
Assunta - Susie
Virginie - Virginia
Marietta - Mary
Orlando - Roy
Giuseppe - Joe
