I decided that most of my characters will be of Italian decent. So it looks like I will be changing a few character names and surnames to Italian names. So I’m looking for Italian names (for both boys and girls) and I’m also needing Italian surnames.
I have a couple of characters in my story that are wealthy/well-to-do and I also have a couple of characters that are bad news and affiliated with some bad people. So I need Italian surnames that sound wealthy and some that sound like bad news/trouble.
Does anyone know of any Italian names and surnames that they would like to share?

More bad news for the White House as Rasmussen announced today that just 17 percent of likely US voters believe the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest level of public confidence since Barack Obama took office. According to Rasmussen, a staggering 75 percent of voters now believe the country is heading down the wrong track, including a clear majority (58 percent) of Democrats, and 77 percent of Independents:
Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters say the country is heading down the wrong track, the highest finding since early January 2009. Since that time, voter pessimism had ranged from 57% to 72%.
Most Republicans (91%) and voters not affiliated with either political party (77%) believe the country is heading down the wrong track. Even a strong majority (58%) of Democrats now say the country is heading in the wrong direction.
Forty percent (40%) of black voters say the country is heading in the right direction, a view shared by just 15% of white voters and just as many voters of other ethnicities (15%).
Roughly half (51%) of the Political Class are confident in the nation’s current course, while 84% of Mainstream voters are not.
Hey libs: It’s okay to cry
