You Say Potato...

There may be hope for Jake yet. G wants an Italian name (A's is totally Irish) and likes Giacomo. Then we'd call him Jake. Sort of like Bill is short for William, yet doesn't start with the same letter (which never made sense to me before, but now is OK since I can use it for my own purposes).

The thing I can't figure out is exactly how it's pronounced. Our name book says "JOCK-uh-mo" which brings too many images of Michael Jackson to mind.

My meager college Italian says "Jee-ah-KO-mo."

What if he's a fair redhead like A? Will it be weird for him to have a very Italian name?
