Talk:Timi Yuro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Birth name

Timi Yuro was born Rosemarie Timotea Aurro according to ALL the full obituaries at the time of her death, the New York Times among them. This is also the name mentioned in the Billboard Top 40 guide. She got the name "Timi" from her middle name "Timotea," which her Italian parents named her. If others must change the name yet again, please give your source. Please be accurate; this is an encyclopedia, not a fan page. Thanks, --a Yuro admirer

[edit] 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)
