Comments for the name Gino

This is my brother's name and my mom insisted on naming him Gino because she just thought it was a cool name. *shrugs* Can't say I love the name, but it's definitely unique.

Gino is a nickname for Giacomo (Italian James).

This is the name of one of my friends. I never knew exactly where his mum got it, and I don't think it's short for anything (as he's never indicated otherwise). I always figured it was a masculine form of Gina, and I suppose I'm somewhat right. It makes me think of a rather silly, crazy person, but still very likeable (just like my friend).

HORRIBLE. It's cute on little boys but it doesn't age well. I picture a fat, greasy balding Italian man who works as a mechanic.

Gino's East is a Chicago pizza restaurant.
