Re: CARMELO - edmckie2 - 22-03-2011

Without in any way belittling those who have replied to this thread
I have never been able to understand the need to anglicise Maltese
or other language first names.

I have a friend here in Malta, his name is Carlo and I would not
dream of calling him Charles even though we need to converse in
English.

My Maltese grandmother was Giusseppa and that was her name- not
Josephine and her father was Giusseppe not Joseph.

Perhaps I am the odd one out.

cheers..Ed
