It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Louis "Louie HaHa" Attanasio Jr. (born 1944 in White Plains, New York) is a New York mobster and reputed captain in the Bonanno crime family.[1] He is the brother of Bonanno mobster Robert Attanasio. Attanasio earned the nickname "HaHa" because he laughed whenever he heard about a mobster dying.

Sonny is another nickname also Casey. You will never find Sonny on the birth certificate. I can't tell you how many cousins and uncles I had with the nick name Sonny. Mostly because they had some horrible name their parents gave them in Italy like Cosmo or something. LolPogo The Clown wrote:Gigi, Beansie?

Cosmo is not a horrible name. But then I suppose it proves the truth of the proverb "Giuseppe today and Faruani tomorrow."

A lot of those nicknames are made up by journalists and aren't the real nicknames that their family or the Mob used. We should separate out the media-created nicknames from the ones they actually used.
Name - Media Nickname -Real Nickname -Alias
Vincenzo Gibaldi -Machine Gun Jack McGurn "Battling" Jack McGurn -James DeMora or DeMory
Alphonse Capone -Scarface -Snorky -Al Brown
Jacob Guzik -Greasy Thumb Jake Guzik -Jack Guzik
Francesco Raffaele Nitto -Frank "the Enforcer" Nitti -Frank Nitto -Ralph Nitto
Umberto Anastasio -Mad Hatter -Albert Anastasia -Albert Anastasia
Giuseppe Bonanno -Joe Bananas -Peppino -Joe Bonanno
Antonino Accardo -Big Tuna -Joe Batters, JB -Anthony Accardo, Tony Accardo
Simone Rizzo DeCavalcante -Sam the Plumber -The Count -Sam DeCavalcante
Salvatore Lucania -Lucky Luciano -Charlie Lucky -Charles Lucania
Francesco Castiglia -The Prime Minister -Frank Costello -Frank Costello, Frank Saverio
