As in "Joseph Mulhearn"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I was going to say that was the least Italian name I have heard!.
However!.!.!. do not write Joseph off as being Irish, and not Italian!. For example!.!.!. Joe has 4 grandparents (8 gr grandparents)!. Not impossible at all that 7 of those 8, could be Italian, and the paternal gr grandfather was who carried the name and married an Italian wife!.
