Question

Can you please tell me how common the name Gastone is in Italy?

is it an old name not used anymore?

Can you compare how common the name is used to an english one like Steve or Alfred plz

Answer 1

Don't be put off by the bad press the other guys gave you.

Gastone derives from the French Gaston, which is widely used in France. In Italy the best known character is Donald Duck's cousin, Gladstone Gander,  who is reputed as being "lucky" (not bad for a name). There's a well known Italian actor called Gastone Moschin (older generation), a saint, a cyclist and quite a few well know people in Northern Italy. It is however a  lesser used name in the rest of the country.

yes is an old name and nobody is using it (I never met anybody with this name)

thge name was given to  the italian caracter Gladstone Gander, and I think after that people stop to using for people becouse was too strong the association with a cartoon caracter
