    That one always bugged me. Especially because "An-tawn" is just a better-sounding name than "An-twon".

    I'd guess it was a typo.

    Perhaps his parents misspelled "Amore"?

    Ed, I think you are miss that fact that his name is pronounced AhMar-E, it's not pronounced Ah-mah-ree. The ' seperates the e from the rest of the name, giving it the correct pronunciation. Amar ' e.

    There is a story that when he was born the hospital spelled it wrong on the birth certificate and they never got it fixed.
