I was just wondering what everyone's families' naming customs were, if you have any. It pains me to know that people name their kids based on how a name sounds. Names have meanings.
On my father's side:
Haven't noticed any. There is a tendency to be named after other family members. My grandmother got her middle name from her mother's sister.
Thomas is also a very popular name on that side. The man who adopted my grandfather's name was Thomas. 3 generations and 5 with Thomas as a name.
Mother's side -first daughters are frequently named after their fathers. ex. Michael - Michelle.
