Actresses sibling(s)

I watched a movie that had Olympia Dukakis in it, so I decided to search her Wikipedia page and found out her brother's name is Apollo.  They are of Greek descent, by the way.

And since I was on the subject of celebrity sibling names, I decided to look up the siblings of my favorite actress, Stana Katic.  They are:
Stana, Dushan, Marko, Theodore, Nikola (m), and Gigi.  They are of Serbo-Croatian descent.  BTW, Stana is pronounced Stah-nuh.

Lucrezia

I have been watching a couple of mildly historical television dramas, The Borgias and Da Vinci's Demons. Both have characters named Lucrezia. In The Borgias it's pronounced Lew-cret-zee-ah and in Da Vinci's Demons it's Lew-Kree-zee-ah. Are they both correct? Is this name still used in Italy or anywhere else in the world? I wouldn't use it if I had a daughter, but I like it!

Just found out 1 of my facebook friends just got married to a woman named Ishael. I thought it was a very interesting name.
