Is there a handy online resource that lists possible variations and translations of Italian given names?
Also, is Roque an Italian given name? I find it listed in some sources as Spanish.
Thanks!

Re: Variations in given names
Just found the references on names on this site. My searches on the site didn't find it, but a Google search did.

Also, names - particularly of children - are often informally amended with suffixes such as -ina, -ucci, -etto, etc. Many times these stick into adulthood; sometimes they appear in birth records.
