Goodfella 69,
Sorry, you had to ask twice, and I am not the one to answer, I just didn't want to ignore your question.

But I would guess that no one chooses the names and that it would be based on the most powerful/richest family (or 5 most powerful). Possibly the ones with the most "control." Each family of course having a "Head Don", thus getting the family name. Am I close experts????
