No rules at all regarding naming children in our family. Maybe one rule only - what parents liked.

They tend to look like this:<br /><br />The first male/female is named after the paternal grandfather/mother.<br />The second male/female is named after the maternal grandfather/mother.<br />The third son/daughter is named after the father (named "Junior" or "the II" nowadays for the boy) or as example, Giovanna (for Giovanni) for the daughter.<br />The fourth son/daughter is named after the paternal great grandfather.<br />Remaining children took the names of paternal/maternal great-uncles and aunts.<br />If the oldest child had received a votive name in place of that of its paternal grandfather, the second child took the name of its father instead of that of its maternal grandfather.<br />If the father died before the birth of his child it was customary for it to assume the deceased parent's name.<br />The subsequent children could be named after the parents, a favorite aunt or uncle, a saint or a deceased relative.<br /><br />Sometimes they don't follow any kind of pattern at all and it gets really confusing. But, it is cool to see if you can figure it out. You're right. Not everyone follows the pattern no matter what country they are in. Sometimes names even alternate for centuries.<br /><br />Great blog!Cferrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711766128001014965noreply@blogger.com
