      It does bug me that while Wanda is a very Slavic name (of Polish origin), Pietro is a very Romance-language way to say "Peter" (irl you mostly see it as an Italian name) and his name should most likely be "Piotr"

      I mean okay I don't expect Stan Lee in the 60s to have been a cultural encyclopedia And it's not that big a deal, there's a huge range of places they could theoretically be from, and according to Wikipedia "Petro" or "Piatro" wouldn't be out of place in Ukraine or Belarus

          I guess you could say it's to differentiate him from Colossus in the X-Men, whose real name is Piotr Rasputin But then you look at how many different characters are all named "Peter"

          It is kind of funny imagining the meeting where they decided they had to kill Pietro in Age of Ultron because for the next big team-up they couldn't have THREE guys all looking up whenever someone says "Pete"

          Also depending on when he got that name, Colossus might have had dibs on Piotr

          clearly he really wanted to be a comedia-dell'arte clown as a child and so that became his family nickname and stuck forever i feel like he has the hair for it

          He's more of an Arlecchino type though

          And also, people sometimes just name kids with spellings they like even if not from their culture. For example, my name is Gilbert, rather than Gilberto.

          And the MCU version suggests there was a lot of aspirational "citizens of the world" stuff going on with their folks too when the Iron Curtain started coming down. Through that lens, they could as easily have been Jennifer and Amir.

          A friend of mine insisted that the character was named Pietrov. This was before wikipedia, so we didn't bother correcting him. In retrospect, maybe MCU she have went with Pietrov, considering they never really called him Quicksilver.

          There were a couple famous Pietro's in art and history, it's not impossible for parents to hear that sort of variation of a common local name and decide to go with it. But I'm still trying to figure out why anyone in 1910s NY would decide to name their kid after James Buchanan.

          Best I can give you is maybe they were Scottish/Irish immigrants who latched onto the fact there was a US President with a conspicuously Celtic surname
