Hi,
Just how many of you here have a first and/or middle name that is shared by that of one of your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents and every generation before?
A few examples of my family heritage:
*My father's first and middle names were borrowed from the middle names of both his grandfathers.
*My mother's middle name rhymes with the first name of her maternal grandmother.
*My maternal grandmother's middle name is the same as that of her own mother's as well as her husband's aunt's.
*My first paternal aunt's middle name is derived from her father's first (her father is also my father's father).
*My older brother's first and middle names were chosen by my father to align themselves with the initials of his own father.
