Information on Names
Younger children would be named after earlier ancestors, but the pattern
in their case was more varied.
One variation from the above was for the
eldest son to be named after the mother's father and the eldest daughter
after the father's mother. In this case the second son would be named after
the father's father and the second daughter after the mother's mother.
Occasionally the second son and daughter would be named after the father and
mother instead of the third son and daughter. Another variation was to name
the third daughter after one of the great-grandmothers instead of after the
mother. In such a case, the fourth daughter would usually be named after the
mother.
