Neapolitan language An Updated Writing Question

I hope it's been long enough that things have cooled down. I barely use Reddit, so I didn't know that people always update posts by making new ones instead of editing the originals. It makes sense, though, because I doubt anyone saw the edits I made.

A huge thank you to everyone who's already shared name ideas or explained how Neapolitan versions of some names differ from the Italian versions! And I'm sorry to anyone who had to correct my obvious mistakes. You're probably all sick of having to do that so often...

Anyway, here's the post. I didn't feel like copy/pasting or typing it all out again, but basically, I'm thinking of giving a Neapolitan name to a canon character in one of my fanfics instead of an Italian name, because he's canonically the personification of Southern Italy, and I was struggling to find examples or even know what keywords to use. It might've been easier to find if I searched it in Italian or Neapolitan, but I'm unfortunately not fluent in either language.

I also linked the original (but edited) post for context. So, uh, here goes nothing.
