Buongiorno nomesque.
At work we have a Sicilian guy, by the name of Salvatore (the Savior), affectionately called Totonno by us non-Southerners, who might shrink it to Tonno. Some go down to Toh. One or two refer to him with the tiniest lowering of the eyelids, exactly like Don Vito Corleone (both Brando and De Niro). At the same time unscrutable and expressive.
