I don't think it was Mussolini, but then again because of him, so many Italian mafiosi fled to America. I would have to say Mario Puzo, and the reason for that is his book and movie "The Godfather." They were kind of like a guide to being a mobster. Its kind of funny because even though what happened in the book and movie would never happen in real life, mobsters would try to copy the images in "The Godfather", which in turn made Hollywood copy from the mobsters.

The worst nickname?  Well, there was Choo-Choo Coleman, who didn't have any idea where he picked the name up, but I would have to agree with "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy.  And I remember David Letterman picking on Mookie Wilson.\n\nBest?  "Teddy Ballgame" (Ted Williams) says it all, but my choice would be "Li'l Abner", taken from the now-defunct comic strip, which was applied to Ron Swoboda.\n\nIncidentally, Mickey Mantle's given name was Mickey.  He was named for Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane.\n\nOther great names:  The Big Train (Walther Johnson), Meal Ticket (Carl Hubbell), The Iron Horse (Lou Gehrig), The Barber (Sal Maglie, so called because of he pitched batters close and inside), The Ol' Perfessor (Casey Stengel), Stan "The Man" Musial (he earned it), Yogi Berra, "Say Hey" (Willie Mays), "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio, The Vulture (Phil Regan), Blue Moon Odom, Mudcat Grant, The Wizard of Oz (Ozzie Smith) and Charlie Hustle (Pete Rose).\n\nPaul Waner and his brother Lloyd were known as "Big Poison" and "Little Poison" respectively.  Another brother act was Jerome "Dizzy" Dean and his brother Paul, nicknamed "Daffy."\n\nBob Feller was known as "Rapid Robert" and Tom Seaver was "Tom Terrific."  Nolan Ryan did not have a nickname, but his fastball was called "Von Ryan's Express" after a contemporary movie; later the "Von" was dropped.\n\nPumpsie Green (his given name was Elijah Jerry Green) was the first black player for the Boston Red Sox.  He received the nickname name as a child from his mother.\n\nA recent one, no longer applicable, is "Steady" Eddie Guardado.\n\nConnie Mack is entirely a nickname: he was Cornelius McGillicuddy.  And let us not forget Mark "the Bird" Fydritch (probably from "queer as a bird," meaning "wacky") or "Mr. October (Reggie Jackson).\n\n"Papi" in its various forms is a Spanish term of respect for a beloved elder (also equivalent to "Daddy") and has been applied to several Hispanic players, such as Edgar Martinez.\n\nYankee Stadium is still called "The House that Ruth Built," and the original Washington Senators used the nickname instead of their formal name, which was the Nationals.  The Senators were often described as "first in war, first in peace and last in the American League."  Casey Stengel was the first to call the Mets "Amazing".\n\nAnd that's the tip of the iceberg.

Chico Marx - real name = Leonard Marx\nHarpo Marx - real name = Adolph Marx (later changed to\n                                               Arthur)\nGroucho Marx - real name = Julius Henry Marx\nGummo Marx - real name = Milton Marx\nZeppo Marx - real name = Herbert Marx\n\nTheir nicknames came from a comic strip called "Knocko the Monk."  During a backstage poker game in a vaudeville house, another performer, while dealing cards, offered "a card for Chick-o", the brother who chased chicks, and a card for Harp-o, the brother who played the harp.  Gummo's nickname came from his habit of sneaking up on people backstage, like some kind of "gumshoe" detective.\n\nAccording to the website, Gummo quit the group before they starred in any movies, so there is no movie with all five brothers.  However, there are 6 movies that 4 of the brothers are in:  Humor Risk (1926), The Cocoanuts (1929), Animal Crackers (1930), Monkey Business (1931), Horse Feathers (1932) and Duck Soup (1933).

All brothers and their real names were\n\nManfred was born in 1885 and died in infancy \nChico - Leonard, 1887-1961 \nHarpo - Adolph (later Arthur), 1888-1964 \nGroucho - Julius Henry, 1890-1977 \nGummo - Milton, 1892-1977 \nZeppo - Herbert, 1901-1979 \n\nBorn to a family of artists, the musical talent of the brothers was encouraged from an early age. Harpo was especially talented, and could play nearly any instrument; however, his focus was the harp, from which he derived his nickname, and which he often played on film. Chico was an excellent and histrionic pianist, and Groucho played the guitar.\n\nThey got their start in vaudeville, where their uncle Albert Schönberg was performing as Al Shean of Gallagher and Shean. Groucho's debut was in 1905, predominately as a singer. By 1907 he and Gummo were singing together as two-thirds of The Three Nightingales with Mabel O'Donnell. The next year, Harpo became the fourth Nightingale. By 1910, the group was expanded to include their mother and their Aunt Hannah, and the troupe was renamed The Six Mascots. One evening, a performance at the Opera House in Nacogdoches, Texas was interrupted by shouts from outside about a runaway mule. The audience hurried outside to see what was happening, and when they returned, Groucho, infuriated by the interruption, announced "Nacogdoches is full of roaches," and "The jackass is the flower of Tex-ass." Instead of becoming angry in return, the audience laughed, and afterward the family began to consider the possibility that they had potential as a comic troupe.\n\nSlowly, the act evolved from singing with some incidental comedy to a comedy with some music, like their sketch set in a schoolroom (Fun in Hi Skule), featuring Groucho as a German-accented teacher presiding over a classroom which included students Harpo, Gummo and, by 1912, Chico. The last version of the school act, entitled Home Again, was written by Al Shean. Around this time, Gummo left the group to fight in World War I ("Anything is better than being an actor!"); Zeppo would replace him for their final vaudeville years, through their leap to Broadway, and the subsequent Paramount pictures.\n\nDuring World War I, anti-German sentiments grew, and the family tried to hide their German origin. Harpo changed his real first name from Adolph to Arthur, and Groucho discontinued his "German" stage personality.\n\nBy this time the brothers, now The Four Marx Brothers, had begun to incorporate their unique brand of comedy into their act and to develop their characters. Groucho began to wear his trademark greasepaint moustache and to use a stooped walk; Harpo began to wear a red fright wig, carried a taxi-cab horn and never spoke; Chico started to talk in a fake Italian accent, developed off-stage to deal with neighbourhood toughs; and Zeppo adopted the schleppy, juvenile role of the straight man. The on-stage personalities of Groucho, Chico and Harpo were said to have been based on their actual traits (although, in real life, Harpo could talk). Zeppo, on the other hand, was considered the funniest offstage brother, despite his limited, straight stage roles. Being the youngest and having grown up watching his brothers, he was also the one who could fill in for, and nearly perfectly imitate, the others when illness kept them from a performance. "He was so good as Captain Spaulding [in Animal Crackers] that I would have let him play the part indefinitely, if they had allowed me to smoke in the audience," Groucho recalled.\n\nTheir stage names were coined by monologist Art Fisher during a poker game on the road, based both on the brothers' personalities and Knocko the Monk, a popular comic strip of the day which included a supporting character named "Groucho." Julius Marx was named Groucho for his saturnine disposition, for the fact that he carried his money in a "grouch-bag" for safe keeping, and/or after the comic s

Leonardo IS the first name. DaVinci is the last. Many Italian names have "Da" or "De" in front of them, it is like English names like London or York, we just left off the "Of". Leonardo was illegitimate, and in those days the illegitimate did not take their Moms names, they could not take their Dads, so they generally took place names.
