Help with name on a Baptismal record for Josepha Cannella

Post by italian059 »

Would someone please tell me the name of the child being baptized. I think it is Josepha but not sure what words are behind the name. It is the last record on the left side of the page. Thanks so much.
Mary

My guess is that it's a male, Josephu(m) Simone(m), though priests usually write it as Joseph, using the indeclinable Hebraic form of the name
