My current namesake is interwar-era Sicilian theoretical physicist Ettore Majorana.

and of course the obligatory cheap video game pun

You probably should care because he was such a cool fellow with an interesting history. And an absolute genius.

And yet totally overlooked - Chadwick's Nobel Prize could have and SHOULD have been Majorana's (but dear Ettore was also kind of a lazy schmuck and missed out, oh well).

Please read the Wikipedia article if you get the time. wariodood;

Also, I [glow=black,2,300]cheated[/glow] a little bit to make that portmanteau work.

[spoiler]

as a scilian name, majorana is actually pronounced something more like my-or-áhna, not madzhorá-na

oopsies[/spoiler]

Fun Fact™: the letter j doesn't even exist in the italian alphabet goowan

ettore majorana just gets more and more enigmatic the deeper you dig

"gi" is used for that sound

Italian is so easy to pronounce on sight. Every letter is important. Makes me resent French that much more.

but doesn't even that yield a phoneme pronounced more like dzhy than simply dzh

also for the almost certain few of you who are pronouncing it 'muh-j"r-uh-nuh' because of the game majora's mask, please listen to this

kopo, right
one of my band instructors in high school's last name was Iacoviello

imagine somebody called Jacopo/Iacopo Iacoviello

that'd be tight
