Talk:Timi Yuro

Birth name
Although Timi Yuro's birth name is given as Rosemarie Timotea Aurro in a number of sources (the New York Times obituary among them), the Yuro family insists that it is Rosemary Timothy Yuro and that this is the name that appears on the singer's birth certificate. Yuro's official website agrees with the family, so let us defer to them.Mason.Jones (talk) 19:47, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Timi Yuro's Birth Name
Timi Yuro was born with the name Rosemary Yuro. Timi's father, Louis, is listed in the 1930 U.S. Census with the last name Yuro. There is debate in our family (I am Timi's cousin, once removed) as to what original spelling of our surname might have been when my great-grandfather entered this country from Sicily. However, Timi was born with the name Rosemary Yuro long after any change to the original spelling might have occurred. No one in the immediate family ever referred to her as "Timi" according to my father (whose father and Timi's father were brothers). Her family called her "Ro" - short for Rosemary, of course. As far as the newspapers and other sources are concerned, one will have to question their sources about the acquisition of the supposed name, as the ancestry of our family is still being explored.76.184.162.203 02:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
