1) In my country the common names are Mario, Anna , Salvatore, ecc but most of them are linked to the territory. For example in Sicily is very simple meet person called Salvatore, in Naples most frequently you can meet Ciro; but the best common name in "Mario Rossi".
2) My name is Luigi and it is not a common name.
3) My family's name is not too much popular; in my city there are just five or six families with the same surname.
4) In my case "Vetri" means "glasses" and it is not related to a profession but to a material. However In Italy several families reported a name of a city.
5) In Italy we use to call ours sons by Italian's name. but i called my daughter Margaux, maybe i complicated her life, because it is very complicate to write.
6) Normally i use My name and my surname. I need a little time to be in confidence with other people and call them by their first name. when i work i always use the surname except when i speak with colleagues of the same rank.
