I don't know about phone books but check out: http://www.behindthename.com/ and click on their German and Italian Names area for some ideas.

Dear Maria;
    Thank you ever so much for your suggestion. Could you tell me how to see 
an Italian or German telephone book on the Internet ? I will quickly do what 
you have suggested. I have done 1890 to 1895 so far for the church in 
Argentina. I still have another 1,800 names to extract before I am finished. 
I will go over the names once again to try any new names that I find. I 
didn't recognize them as Hispanic/Spanish names, they appear odd, "Buachasa 
Lorenjasa", "Julijenta Chuebulan" and others that I have never seen before, 
or they appear spelled as I just spelled them or maybe I mistook the letters 
in the name and they are spelled altogether differently. Also, the church 
fathers making the entries use script and it is so hard to read. If they 
would use calligraphy so I could use my book, that would be fine or print, 
that would be fine. Each new priest has different script writing. Some you 
may be familiar with are that some make a "J" and put a line through it and 
it becomes a "T". Add to it names that are so unfamiliar, you have a 
spelling problem as well as a recognition problem.
    Again, thank you for taking the time to try  help me. I appreciate your 
kindness very much.

I wish you happiness,

Jose Luis Macias

Jose Luis,

I know that there has been a significant number of Italian and
German Immigrants in Argentina.  Perhaps that's why the names seem
so different from those found in other Latin American countries.
Maybe you could try looking for Italian and German phone books on
the Internet?  The names could've also been changed by the priest to
sound more Spanish.  Like the name Lomelin was changed from the
original Italian surname of Lomellini in Mexico.  Just a thought.

Joseph,
    Thank you for the kind words about the work I do on
    
extraction. Joseph, I have a problem that I hope that you could
help   with. When I am doing the names on the records I often find
strange names and spellings. I had a baby name book for naming kids
and I wonder if there exists such a book for Latino kids. I thought
that a phone book would help so I got one for a local city that has
a lot of Hispanic families. There seems to be a limited number of
first names and surnames. I need a better source. For example, I
found a name that looked like "Eulalio Chuc" . I have never seen the
surname "Chuc" or "Toco" or "Andurate" Moratalla. I am doing a
church in Argentina and I guess the names are different or I am not
that familiar with "Oligalla Zulipata". See, I am not sure if such
names exist or if I am not reading them right. If I knew or had seen
names like that, then I would recognize them like " Jose", "Juan"
or "Julio".       You are a helpful person and if you can't think of
a source for me on this, that is Ok because I am no worse off than
before.
  
Your friend in Family Search,
