Name Variants

While I was transcribing various indexes and lists of baptisms/marriages/deaths, I decided to start a list with all the name variants I could find, for first/given names.
Here it is, it's going to be updated as I keep transcribing.
On the left the modern or normal spelling, after the arrow the variants.
Keep in mind that different regions will have different variants because of the use of different dialects, so this list is for the variants I've found for Friuli only.
