My name is Gaston. When I visted Italy and some of my family members last year, they would call me Gaston"e".

In Italy is my name said "Gastone" and spelled Gaston?

Thanks,

In italy we always pronouce all the letters
Gaston ( is I think more french )
Gastone is the correct spelling.

The most known Gastone is probably Gastone Paperone from the Paperino ( Donald Duck ) comics which are extremely popular in Italy

Hey thanks Paolo! Interesting facts.

I have a Cuban friend named Gaston.(gas-TONE)(Eng. phonetic pronunciation) Don't pronounce the "e" as in Italian or Spanish "e".

Also in the Spanish version of the story
"Sleepy Hollow" the boastful rival of
Ichabod Crane is named Gaston.

Plot summary

The Headless Horseman Pursuing Ichabod Crane (1858) by John QuidorThe story is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a lanky schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones"(Gaston) Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, only daughter of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves a party at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who lost his head to a cannonball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head." Crane disappears from town, leaving Katrina to marry Brom Bones, who was "to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of Ichabod was related."
