  • It strikes me as extremely stereotypically american and to be honest I’ve never really understood it. To me a name seems such a big part of being an individual that to have the same as a parent seems a little odd - and it always seems to be for men and not women. It also makes me think of rich white oil barons, like Dallas, a very nouveau riche thing to do and maybe a little pretentious.

    The main thing i would be concerned of is if there or may be two sons, will the non-inherited name child think they are somehow lesser? Would it create some resentment?

    Sharing generational middle names is a thing here but I can’t say I’m personally a fan of doing it for first names.

    Thats not to say I don’t find it quite impressive you have already got the counter to 4 or that it is some awful thing like calling your child something stupid or unpronounceable, you know better than an internet stranger in that regard.
