But I do find it hilarious that people are saying "I don't get jifts for Christmas" then pronounce Giordano with a soft G.

Again not saying it should be a soft G, I just find that funny.
I find it hilarious when people compare the Italian pronunciation of an Italian name to English words.

Mostly because the only other words in the English language that have "G-I-F" is gift (and derivatives) or fungiform, both pronounced with a hard G. So it just makes sense, at least to me the GIF should follow.

Really in the end.. tomato, tomato, potato, potato, lets call the whole thing off.
