Marisabina Russo: Hello, my name is Marisabina Russo. My first name, Marisabina, has 10 letters and looks very hard to pronounce when you see it written on a page, but it's easy when you know the story behind it. You see, my parents couldn't agree about what to name me. My father was from Italy and he wanted Maria. My mother, who was from Germany, wanted to name me Sabina, which actually was her first name. They went back and forth and back and forth and finally decided to put the two names together and so Maria Sabina became one word, Marisabina. I think it sounds very nice with Russo, Marisabina Russo. I'm quite happy with it.
