Pepe sounds fine to me. But when I heard Totti and De Rossi (I thought all Romans sound like that) I was like... wtf. They barely open their mouth and mumble a lot.
Yeah, probably is. There's a Neapolitan restaurant I sometimes go to (you have to admit they've got food down like it's nobody's business) and the owner/chef's surname is Pepe.
