According to the IMdB, Mastroianni's birth name was "Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastrojanni". It seems weird to me, as j is normally not used in Italian. Could someone please check if it is correct? Thanks, SyP 09:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC) (please reply to me either here or at hu:User vita:Syp.

Secondo ad IMdB, Mastroianni è nato con il nome "Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastrojanni". Che sappia io la lettera j generalmente non è usata in italiano. Andate a fondo di questo domanda, per cortesia! Grazie, SyP 09:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC) (Rispondatemi qua o a hu:User vita:Syp).

Marcello Vincenzo Domenico Mastrojanni" is the birth-name, Marcello Mastroianni is his actor-name; i've just changed it. - Daviduzzu

Someone has rolled back.....But I repeat, that "Mastrojanni" is the right form! - Daviduzzu

"J" is used in Italian, mainly in words or names that come from various dialects. Given names like Jacopo are common, or surnames like Jannuzzi, Jorio, or even town names like Jesi, Jesolo. --Gspinoza (talk) 15:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
