An Offer You Can't Refuse

I have just, for the first time, seen The Godfather.
Here's what bothered me-
The bodyguard, Paulie, what the heck was with him? He CALLED IN the day the Godfather got shot? Buddy, you dont work at an office. You're a bodyguard for a mob boss. You dont just call in. You're sick? SUCK IT UP. Shouldn't have messed with the family...

Why is it that everytime there's a gangster film, or tv show, or novel, or broadway musical, there is always a character named Paulie? It's never just "Paul" always "Paulie."

If I ever met a gangster named Pauile, I couldn't take him seriously, because I would always think of Pauly Shore. I would ask him for some "munchage" as I "weeze" the "ju-uice." "Buuuuuuuuuddy."
