Or family relation?

not sure, but I'm at Marmion Academy tonight for the Cadets' season finale against Montini Catholic, and the visiting Broncos have a junior linebacker by the name of Frank Nitti.

The name jumped off the page for me, but not because of anything he has potentially done on the field - I don't even know if he plays.

But "Frank Nitti" was a famous Chicago gangster portrayed just as famously by Billy Drago in The Untouchables in 1987.
