Short answer: sloppy writing. Why does Puzo never tell us Tessio's first name? He gives us Pete's. He gives us Sollozzo's, Barzini's, et al. Why not Tessio's? Sloppy writing for sure. But perhaps he was subliminally telling us that Tess was a minor character compared with Clem, and a traitor-in-the-making. Ummmmm.....Doesnt anyone remember?...... Salvatore Tessio was his name !?!??? "sorry, 'Salley'" Tom Hagen, when taking Sal to the carwhere he will go and meet his "death"....... Or am I just dreaming???

Or am I just dreaming??? You're talking about the film. Here we discuss the book. There it goes: Tessio paused for a moment and then said softly, “Tom, can you get me off the hook? For old times’ sake?” Hagen shook his head. “I can’t,” he said. He watched Tessio being surrounded by bodyguards and led into a waiting car.

I still seem to remember Puzo mentioning Tessio's first name in the novel
