Corrado Soprano, Jr., for example, is dominated by the numbers 2, 8 and 3.
Later in life, he would be known as Uncle Junior, a name that is dominated by 7, 8 and 8, which together have an entirely different vibe.
Hardly a name befitting of a mafia man. Junior Soprano, on the other hand, is a name of risks and rewards, gambling and courage.

 [No title]
For example, one of the soldiers in the Sopranos was “fingered” as a “rat.” Then, Tony Soprano went to his house at 3:00 in the afternoon and told him “you’re my friend.” In the historical mob family, just before a mobster is murdered, he is treated especially nicely.
Although the Soprano family seems a little smaller in size than the historical mob family, it is clear that the same structure is present in the Soprano family that is found in the historical mob family.
In conclusion, although the characters from The Sopranos are different from the characters in the historical mob family in a couple of minor ways, the similarities between these two families are substantial.

 FILM QUARTERLY - Waddaya Lookin' At? Re-reading the Gangster Genre Through "The Sopranos" by Martha P. ...
In the first image of the series, gang boss Tony Soprano is in dialogue with familial confusions, specifically the maternal influence: he is sitting in the office of a female psychiatrist, completely framed by the legs of a female nude sculpture (recalling his origins in the birth canal and the power of the mother).
Tony Soprano’s guilt of murder–and more–is complicated by the fact that he was born (did not choose) to rule the Northern New Jersey mob and by his utterly spontaneous, child-like joy in physicality.
When Tony learns of Junior’s sexual preferences, Junior has to terminate his relationship with Bobbi, and the reflection cast by the Hauser story pairs these events to imply that all aspects of the lives of the gangsters are occasions for male self-indulgence as long as they fit within the conventional macho image.

 Singing Soprano
On the hit HBO series "The Sopranos," there's only one man that north Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano truly loves and respects--his crusty old uncle, Corrado "Junior" Soprano, the symbol of a more dignified generation that is quickly passing into history.
The third season's anti-climactic ending featured most of the well-connected cast falling under Junior's spell as he sang a heartrending version of the Italian ballad "Core 'ngrato." (Daughter Meadow didn't appreciate the tune--she hurled a dinner roll at her great-uncle--but there's no accounting for taste.)
People would suggest it, and I'd say, `Uncle Jun wouldn't sing; he's a mean old crotchety bastard.' But I was singing at a party one time, and I guess that gave David the idea.
