Nick Barone's birth name was Carmen Barone, not Carmine Barrone. Please correct it.

Carmen is a female name -- it would have been Carman - just ask Carman (non Carmen as he will tell you) Basilio!

Since I don't think anyone can give a definitive answer on this, let's sit on this until his death record shows up in the Social Security Death Index in a few months. This hopefully, will clear this up for good. Until then, I have switched it back to Carmine, since I can at least see in his obit in his local paper, that they gave it as Carmine, not Carmen.

I think it is fine to look at his death record, but I will assure you that there are plenty of Italian males with a first name of Carmen. I don't know for sure if this is one, but I do know for sure that Carmen is not just a female name.

He was my uncle. Let me know what proof you need, and I'll try to get it to you. I know the obits list his name as Carmine, but it is wrong. Most people assume that Carmen is a females name, so the switch is made.

If you are his nephew, and you have first hand knowledge like that, that should suffice. I'll change it to Carmen.
