The boys probably used it to their advantage against other boys in school. I'm sure teachers kept a close eye on them though. They were probably labeled "troublemakers" in kindergarten just because their last name is Gotti.
Then, one her sons is named John after his grandfather. Poor kid. He'll get pulled over for a speeding violation or something and some cop is liable to hassle him just because of his name.

I don't think they'll get hassled, wether they are or not tied directly to organized crime, there is undeniably an affiliation with their name that will take a long to go away if ever. The name is carried on from generation to generation and if the influence was big enough the stigma will be hard to shake. Just think of what image is created when you say the name Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel etc.
Alright that's enough for me.
