Volare (Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blu)

Well, after more than 3 years of waiting, plus another year of paperwork SNAFUs, it's now official. I am both an Italian and an American, as are my brothers and my mom. I can proudly wear the red-white-and-blue and the tri-colori and not get ripped for it. I can go in the short line when travelling through European customs; I can stay in Italy and other EU countries for longer periods of time (watch out, European UNRV members!), and grant-funded trips to EU countries, from what I hear, will now be easier to obtain.

 

So look out, world...there are 4 more Italians on the block! Really!

Wow! I kind of remember you mentioning back when we were together in NYC last year, that you might be getting dual citizenship. That's pretty neat-o.

 

In celebration, I have anagrammed for you an Italian alias!

 

Zahrah Elsabeth Romani

 

Salute!

Prego!

 

Heh, "Zahrah" is really an Arabic name (meaning "flower in bloom"), but it has enough of an international sound to it to pass for something a native Italian might wear.

 

You can pronounce it with a 'talian 'tude: Zaaaaahrah.

 

"Romani" is a patronymic of the Italian "Romano," meaning "Roman, from Rome" -- which seemed appropriate for you, here at UNRV.

 

Does your mom have a middle name? I'll Italianize her, too, if she likes.

Yep, and here it is (well, the letters): aajnno

 

Your mom should have the same surname as yours:

 

Jhonna Machelle Romani

 

pronounced: ZHAN-nah mah-KEL-leh roh-MAH-nee

 

:D

Here's a better, perhaps more plausible Italian name, for your mom:

 

Noemi Jannah Marchello

 

"Noemi" is an Italian form of "Naomi."

 

The surname "Marchello" is pronounced mar-KEL-loh (I figure you already knew that), and is derived from a diminutive of the personal name "Marco."
